"I feel that I have a better understanding of what is expected of me as a clinical instructor. I understand the role that I am to play and the expectations to set with my students. I understand the things that I will need to complete and achieve before my first clinical day in order to be properly prepared. I have a better understanding of how to handle difficult situations with students, colleagues, and hospital staff members."

"I learned different strategies on how to deal with difficult situations with students. I also got a good understanding of different sources and things I need prior to starting clinical instructing."

"I learned how to navigate through challenges that I will face with students. I also learned about pre/post conference activities to utilize with my students. I learned effective communication skills, as well as support and tools that are available to me to be a successful instructor."
