Abstract
The development project began in 2001 at a college in Eastern Norway. The aim was to concretize and structure the guidance of student nurses in their first and third years of bachelor degree study by operationalizing and implementing relevant learning situations at nursing homes in a guidance model. The model was evaluated in order to determine whether the application of the model had clarified and improved the nursing home as a trainee site for student nurses. Students in their first year respectively third year of study (n=41 vs n=14), and fifty-five instructor nurses participated in the evaluation after the trainee period.A questionnaire was distributed to the participants which focused on the impact of the guidance model.The results indicate that the guidance model increases consciousness and appears to motivate students and instructor nurses in the first year to a higher degree than is the case with participants in their third year. The comments confirm that through the guidance model, students quickly discover the focus of learning at nursing homes. The students expressed wishes that the guidance model be used to a larger extent in situations in which student, teacher and instructor nurse together are reflecting over clinical situations.
