Abstract

Fear of "reality shock" seems to be a common occurrence among students. One particular group of BSN students attempted to lessen this shock by developing different variations in their clinical experience. The most successful and well-liked alternative was a module consisting of two students and three patients. Each student involved expressed his or her feelings of the experience. It proved to be beneficial for both the students and the instructor.
