title: Enhancing support for nursing students in the clinical setting.
abstract: Quality clinical placement experiences are essential for effective student learning. Key factors that can influence this experience are students not feeling welcome in the clinical setting and limited opportunities for them to engage in learning. From a review of the literature and of personal experiences, this paper presents some guidelines that can be introduced at local level without requiring additional resources in order to improve students' experiences.
