During the last two decades, the structure and function of clinical learning and teaching have undergone significant changes. Nursing students demand quality teaching rather than supervision in the clinical area alone. At the same time, expectations and demands of university nursing faculty also change. Nurse educators are under increasing pressure to engage in scholarly activities. Clinical instruction in baccalaureate nursing programmes becomes the primary responsibility of either the inexperienced or part‐time, sessional instructors. This pattern of faculty teaching assignment is not without problems. This paper critically examines these problems and proposes strategies for dealing with them.
