    For instance, a time-motion study on clinical nursing education by Polifroni, Packard, Shah and MacAvoy (1995) suggests that only 44 percent of student time is spent providing direct patient care. The remaining time was considered nonproductive clinical time. Furthermore, it was noted that only 25 percent of the total time was spent in the presence of the assigned unit registered nurse (RN) and the clinical instructor combined. This suggests that 75 percent of a student’s time in clinical is unsupervised, with a large percentage of learning occurring through trial and error. Given these findings, current nursing education can be likened to giving students pieces of a jigsaw puzzle.
