Background of the Study
Clinical rotations are an essential component of nursing education, providing students with hands-on experience in real-world healthcare settings. At Bayelsa State College of Nursing and Midwifery, clinical rotations are designed to help students develop clinical skills, apply theoretical knowledge, and prepare for professional nursing practice. These rotations expose students to various healthcare settings, including hospitals, clinics, and community health centers, where they interact with patients, healthcare professionals, and multidisciplinary teams.
While clinical rotations are critical for skill development, they also present various challenges that can affect students’ learning experiences. Some of the common challenges faced by nursing students during clinical rotations include inadequate clinical supervision, limited access to learning resources, and exposure to stressful clinical environments (Sulaimon et al., 2023). Additionally, students often face difficulties in managing their time between academic coursework and clinical practice, which can affect their performance and well-being. Despite these challenges, the role of clinical rotations in preparing students for the nursing profession remains vital.
This study seeks to evaluate the challenges faced by nursing students during clinical rotations at Bayelsa State College of Nursing and Midwifery and their impact on student learning and development.
