It is important for the student to start taking care of increased numbers of patients to help with time management and work organization.The student should also be able to function without close guidance from the nursing instructor.Although it is good for students to observe staff,a student in the final semester should be able to perform tasks with minimal observation and should instead focus on implementing care and time management.Waiting 7 weeks to evaluate progress would not be helpful to the student.Although regular self-evaluation is an important process,it is the actual experience of taking realistic patient assignments and working typical shift hours that assists with successful role transition.
