Policymakers can play a crucial role in addressing the issue of hands-on experience in nursing:
1. Funding and Resources: Increased funding for nursing education programs can help expand clinical training opportunities, improve simulation labs, and attract qualified faculty. 2. Regulatory Support: Policies that support flexible and innovative educational models can help nursing programs adapt to challenges such as those posed by the COVID-19 pandemic. 3. Workforce Planning: Strategic workforce planning can ensure that there are enough clinical placement opportunities and faculty to meet the needs of nursing students.
