title: Managing the clinical affiliations of student nurses.
abstract: Problems are encountered with the clinical affiliation placements of student nurses accompanied by faculty members and practicum students, who function more independently. Mechanisms were initiated to better coordinate student learning so that it is congruent with clinical demands and human resources. The author describes effective policies for the facilitation of affiliation arrangements.
