Clinical experiences are an essential part of nursing education as students learn technical skills, build on critical thinking skills, and hone skills in patient teaching. To build competence and confidence in each of these skill areas, an innovative clinical experience for senior students enrolled in women's health nursing was developed to provide nursing care and independent discharge teaching for postpartum mothers. Faculty facilitated this clinical experience by designing a simulation laboratory for students to practice their maternal self-care teaching and infant care skills prior to beginning their clinical rotation. In the hospital, students spent a day independently prioritizing new mothers' need for education and teaching new mothers to care for themselves and their newborns. Students reported confidence in teaching maternal self-care and newborn care, and satisfaction with this unique clinical experience. This approach may assist students in transferring skills learned in simulation laboratories to clinical practice.
临床经验是护理教育的重要组成部分，因为学生可以学习技术技能、培养批判性思维能力，并磨练患者教育技能。为了在这些技能领域建立能力和信心，我们为参加妇女健康护理课程的高年级学生开发了一种创新的临床体验，为产后母亲提供护理和独立出院指导。教师通过设计一个模拟实验室来促进这种临床体验，让学生在开始临床轮转之前练习产妇自我护理教学和婴儿护理技能。在医院里，学生们花一天时间独立确定新妈妈的教育需求，并教导新妈妈如何照顾自己和新生儿。学生们表示对产妇自我护理和新生儿护理教学有信心，并对这种独特的临床体验感到满意。这种方法可能有助于学生将在模拟实验室学到的技能应用到临床实践中。
