title: Reflect and learn together - when two supervisors interact in the learning support process of nurse education.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To describe the importance of supervisors working together in supporting the learning process of nurse students through reflective caring science supervision.
  
  
  BACKGROUND
  A supervision model has been developed in order to meet the need for interweaving theory and practice. The model is characterized by learning reflection in caring science. A unique aspect of the present project was that the student groups were led by a teacher and a nurse.
  
  
  METHODS
  Data were collected through interviews with the supervisors. The analysis was performed with a phenomenological approach.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The results showed that theory and practice can be made more tangible and interwoven by using two supervisors in a dual supervision. The essential structure is built on the constituents 'Reflection as Learning Support', 'Interweaving Caring Science with the Patient's Narrative', 'The Student as a Learning Subject' and 'The Learning Environment of Supervision'.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The study concludes that supervision in pairs provides unique possibilities for interweaving and developing theory and practice.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The supervision model offers unique opportunities for cooperation, for the development of theory and practice and for the development of the professional roll of nurses and teachers.
