When discussing the importance of clinical experience, employers state there needs to be improvements in clinicals, such as more communication between the educational institutions and the clinical agencies where students are being placed; more consideration of how many students clinics can realistically take; and more research into funding sources and fellowships for nursing students (especially students who are specializing).

| "I was just thinking about the demands that being a large clinical site can put on an employer. And there are costs associated with taking all of those students, so how do we support that? And have we aligned where the students are going to end up working—where they are getting their clinical? In our acute care hospital, we had over 90 licensed practical nurse students and we only employ 15, so how does that balance work? And are we the site where they are going to work? And the other thing I was thinking about is that some of the more advanced practices or master's prepared students—you know, there's certainly been some funding support for that, but we're seeing that funding source diminish.
