Subjects Participants (n=199) were from both the public and private health care sector working in a variety of nursing specialties within both the inpatient and community setting. Results Analysis of the data determined that participants improved their knowledge and attitude towards students and clinical supervision. Conclusions The ACS was confirmed as a strategy for providing effective education for nurses. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
