Clinical Education Vital for Student Nurses

Two years ago this month, Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston began a clinical training program for student nurses known as a Dedicated Education Unit (DEU). The DEU, incorporated into a 36-bed adult inpatient unit and hailed as a unique education capacity solution, was established to provide students with an opportunity to work with seasoned nursing staff in caring for surgical and multi-trauma patients who began their hospital stay in the emergency department. To learn more about this innovative approach to student learning and to hear what students and staff have to say about the DEU and their daily experiences, read the DEU article and view the video posted on the Education Capacity Solutions Page of the CCNA website.
