Nursing is in a unique position to address problems that plague the nation's health system. The CNL represents an exciting and promising opportunity for nursing to take a leadership role, in collaboration with multiple practice partners, and implement quality improvement and patient safety initiatives across all health care settings.

Students have high expectations for their active involvement in intrapartum care and tend to under-estimate the sense of altruism that motivates patients to allow student participation. Patients have low expectations of levels of student participation in their care, but are overall quite satisfied with the skills of the students. These differences highlight the need for the development of educational objectives that clarify student roles in clinical clerkships and the process of informed consent for student participation.
