The conference will be attended by professionals from the countries that, along with ours, are part of IDEUS-eu project (Portugal, Turkey, Belgium and Poland). The aim of the meeting is to advance in knowledge and the common understanding of the methodology of the Dedicated Educational Units (DEU), units that want to implement a new method to enrich the educational development of nursing students in Europe.
During this course, IDEUs wants to emphasis on cooperation between universities and hospitals, as it is essential for the formation of students. The "clinical mentor" works directly with students during the traineeship. Their task is to provide support to gradually achieve the skills that enable the nurses to assist the patient with autonomy. Moreover, faculty of Nursing Schools, jointly with the clinical mentor, coordinate the learning objectives required of the student body and becomes the link between hospitals and universities. It is also expected to attend the coordinators of the healthcare units that should guide their teams so that students get the training improvement.
IDEUS is a pioneer in the nurse practical training of the XXI century
