Quality Safety And Ethics In Nursing

Clinical is an enriching environment that helps the student nurse to grow. One of the ways that the student grows is by seeing the implementation of quality, safety, and ethics in the healthcare environment. Through the course of clinical, a student can learn what really happens in the workplace.

Overall, the nurses were brilliant teachers by showing how well they handled quality, safety and ethical
