title: Practice placements for students: a literature review.
abstract: The function of practice placements is to give nursing students the chance to put theory into practice and become critical thinkers. This can be done using a range of teaching strategies such as demonstration, case conferences, questioning and role modelling (Quinn, 2000). Factors that enhance or inhibit learning must be recognised by both practitioners and educators.
