The Guide to Student Nurse Placement in General Practice has been developed to support a consistent approach and quality experience for student nurses during clincial placement in general practice.
Through the Network National Nursing in General Practice Program, it was idenitified that there was a need to provide some guidelines to assist network members and general practice to ensure a positive experience for nursing students in the general practice environment. Provision of a quality experience for the student could influence their decision to seek a position as a nurse in general practice following graduation.
The guide provides information for divisions, general practice, universities and student nurses.
