A chemical dependence clinical experience.
Chemical dependence treatment clinical experiences in undergraduate nursing programs can provide appropriate entry-level experiences for students in community settings when supervised adequately and arranged carefully. They increase students' awareness of the pervasiveness of alcohol and substance-related problems and its impact on individuals, families, and societies. With careful attention to entry barriers and orientation issues, faculty can develop clinical sites that provide a wealth of experience and opportunity for students to develop themselves both personally and professionally.
