Critique of a Clinical Evaluation Tool Educating nurses while ensuring the safety of the patient and the learner is quite a challenge. Clinical faculty face this challenge each semester as nursing students enter into the clinical world of nursing. In order to evaluate nursing students in the clinical field, an evaluation tool is necessary to serve as in instrument that will allow the faculty to assess each learner’s competence (Bonnel, 2012).
