Clinical education in paediatrics.
The clinical environment is an important factor in the student nurse's learning experience. The literature identifies a number of key areas which form the clinical learning environment. The reality of the ward environment and the literature demonstrate gaps between theory and practice. Ongoing evaluation of the ward environment could increase the learning opportunities available to students.
