Although our theory topic this module focuses on educational theories as they relate to your clinical learning experience ideas, it is important to mention nursing theory as it relates to teaching in the clinical setting. From the Certified Academic Clinical Nurse Educator Review Manual: The clinical nurse educator is a vital point of contact to assist the students in bridging the gap between theory and practice. In the classroom, students are taught theoretical knowledge based concepts. This knowledge must be successfully translated into clinical practice for safe and effective patient care. The theory of cognitive apprenticeship is described as "making expert thinking visible to the learner" (Lyones, McLaughlin, Khanova, & Roth, 2017). Through this, the learner is able to "see" the cognitive process and develop clinical decision making skills. Whitman-Price, R., Wilson, L., & Gittings, K., (2020).
