During nursing education students obtain knowledge and skills to develop their professional competence. Teachers may elect to provide pedagogical tools preparing students for current and future healthcare needs. The purpose of this theoretical article was to highlight Work-Integrated Learning combined with the Portfolio Method as a pedagogical strategy and tool for nursing students to develop professional competence for lifelong learning. This strategy contains six phases: pre-reflection, reflection-in-action, reflection-on-action, self-evaluation, meta-reflection and knowledge-in-action, which can help nursing students, during their clinical education, develop deeper understanding of their future profession, while also providing a teaching planning tool.

The difference between the professional competence conveyed during education and the competence demanded in working life is substantial and needs to be taken seriously. In this chapter where the case is nursing education, Work Integrated Learning (WIL) and Learning Integrated Work (LIW), are suggested as pedagogical approaches in Higher Education aiming to integrate scientific knowledge and with practical knowledge, and to provide an analytical perspective where students have the opportunity to develop metacognitive skills and praxis by learning through experiences during internship. One way to achieve this in vocational education to learn from the knowledge and skills used when performing in practice. By integrating scientific and practical vocational knowledge, one promotes professionalization that is exhibited as Learning Integrated Work (LIW), i.e. the capability to perform the expected tasks and learn at work by using a critical and development-oriented attitude in daily work and actively participate in renewals of work assignments.

Students' knowledge of the concept of patient safety in infection prevention and control and treatment safety is still low. Real-life problem-based learning approaches in the area of ​​clinical education assist in patient safety education. This study was designed to identify, evaluate and summarize available evidence on the effectiveness of clinical education on student achievement of patient safety competencies. The Methode that use in this study is systematic review. Search for articles in research journals obtained from Sciencedirect, Ebscohost, Garuda, Proquest and Scopus. As many as 228 articles were obtained consisting of nursing journals and health journals with the keywords clinical education, competence, and patient safety. After that, the screening process was carried out based on the inclusion criteria and obtained 25 articles that met the criteria. The result of this study are the contribution of educational institutions in the achievement of patient safety competencies for nursing students is still low and the achievement of patient safety competencies for students at the professional level is better than for students who are still learning theory in educational institutions. The conclusion of this study is clinical education carried out by educational institutions is considered ineffective in achieving the competence of patient safety for nursing students. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a patient safety model or curriculum that is attached to clinical education in nursing education institutions

The quality of basic nursing bachelor programmes nationally and internationally must regularly be assessed to ensure that they fulfil requirements and are appropriate in relation to developments and changes in societies and healthcare systems. There is a need for instruments in helping to assess this. The aim of this study was to investigate whether the Nurse Professional Competence (NPC) Scale could serve as a tool to measure and detect possible differences between universities/university colleges regarding nursing students’ self-reported competence. Totally, 543 nursing students who had just completed their academic three-year nursing bachelor programmes at 10 universities/university colleges in Sweden participated in the study (response rate 71%). The students answered the NPC Scale with its 88 items constituting eight competence areas (CAs) and two overarching themes. The results from using the NPC Scale by the students were then compared between the 10 universities/university colleges. Significant mean score differences were found between the universities/university colleges on all CAs and on both themes. The highest mean score differences were found for the CAs ‘Medical and technical care’ and ‘Documentation and information technology’. The lowest mean score differences were found for the CAs ‘Value-based nursing care’ and ‘Leadership in and development of nursing’. It is concluded that the NPC Scale can serve as a useful tool in national and international assessments of nursing bachelor programmes.

Background: Nurses are supposed to be able to show empathy to patients. Empathy is capability to feel the emotion, thought, and condition of the patient without involving self emotion. Capability of showing empathy in nurses is builtsince the period of education. Every stage in nursing education at nursing study program has different learning activities and load of materials. The difference may be affected by capability of showing empathy in students. The objective of this study is to identify difference in empathy capability of nursing students of Faculty of Medicine UGMMethod: This was a quantitative study with cross sectional design. Samples were taken through purposive proportional sampling involving 88 nursing students at Faculty of Medicine Universitas Gadjah Mada undergoing academic education (batch 2009 to 2012) and clinical education (batch 2007 and 2008). Empathy capability was assessed using Jefferson Scale of Physician Empathy – Nursing Student Version R (JSPE-R).Results: Average score of empathy capability was 113.26 with standard deviation 10.45. There was difference in empathy capability of students of batch 2007 to 2012 (p=0.014). Average score of empathy capability of the students decreased along with the duration of education. There was no difference in empathy capability based on gender (p=0.516), age (p=0.668), ethnic group (p=0.167), and stage of education (p=0.541). There was difference in score of standing in the patient shoes between academic and clinical students (p=0.022).Conclusion: There is difference in empathy capability in nursing students from different batch at Faculty of Medicine UGM.

Work-Integrated Learning (WIL) is an important pedagogical strategy for developing employability skills by immersing students in real-world understandings, applications and practices. Increasingly, universities are focusing on how WIL can be scaffolded across a degree, to involve students in a variety of WIL activities in order to apply disciplinary knowledge and skills. While placement models appear to be the dominant mode of WIL that are easily recognised within a degree structure, non-placement forms of WIL while emerging, remain less visible. This conceptual paper presents an institutional framework that accounts for a range of placement and non-placement WIL activities, to make WIL practices overt across a degree. It introduces the Work-Integrated Learning Curriculum Classification (WILCC) Framework that supports a university-wide approach for developing, mapping and reporting WIL. The WILCC Framework promotes the visibility of WIL across the institution, offers a common language for WIL across disciplines, and provides a tool to scaffold WIL experiences throughout degree programs.

Clinical experience process that follows clinical practices in nursing education gives students the chance of a transition fromtheory to practice as well as from being student to being a professional. Educators in particular, nurses and other health careworkers, universities and students bear important responsibilities in clinical education affected by physical setting andschool-hospital collaboration so that the nursing students can be educated in the best way. To this end; e and f articles of 9 thclause and an article of 5 th clause were enacted under Nursing Code dated 03.2010 and numbered 27515. However; thesearticles do not include an explicit and sufficient explanation about how clinical nurse, student nurse and hospitalmanagement should approach these responsibilities. The aim of the researchers is to point out that problems can be noticedmore easily and analyzed more appropriately by the experts in each law and code to be enacted by governments and thusmore systematic and effective results can be achieved.   Keywords: Education, clinical practice, learning strategies nursing policy
