Two strategies for promoting clinical competence in pre-registration nursing students.
A 'cluster' model of clinical teaching was successfully introduced in 1989 to improve the quality of the clinical component of one pre-registration nursing programme in South Australia. A cognitive model of skills acquisition will be introduced in 1995 to further enhance the effectiveness of 'cluster' teaching. Both models are described together with their implementation processes.
