There was often competition between universities in trying to access the same facilities for student placements. Not all universities performed a formal assessment of the facility\u2019s suitability for an aged care clinical placement and often universities struggled to find university educators suitably qualified in aged care.<br \/>\nConclusions: Recommendations include the use of sites other than aged care facilities that offer aged care specific services. Use of services away from the immediate locality may expand student experience, while better university co\u2011ordination of placements may ensure fairer access to all students. The development and implementation of a clinical audit tool, together with incentives for experienced aged care nurses to participate in higher education may contribute to the development of quality aged care specific skills<\/p>\n<h2>Authors<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Christine Neville<\/li>\n<li>Trudy Yuginovich<\/li>\n<li>Joanne Boyes<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Keywords<\/h2>\n<p>nursing education, aged care, clinical placements<\/p>\n<h2>References<\/h2>\n<p>References not available for this article.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This article was originally published as: A stocktake of existing aged care clinical placements for undergraduate nursing students in Australia&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":21,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[124],"tags":[4047,4038,3966],"class_list":["post-7725","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-articles","tag-aged-care","tag-clinical-placements","tag-nursing-education","wpcat-124-id"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.8 -
