title: The selection of clinical learning experiences in the nursing curriculum.
abstract: This article presents a model for the selection of clinical learning experiences in nursing curricula. Three groups of factors are proposed as affecting the decision making process. These are the nature of nursing, health needs of populations, and nature of the educational environment. The authors urge a systematic approach to the identification and selection of clinical learning experiences.
