Hi Mariann:
Clinical training is kind of a unique training environment. You never know which of the multiple experiences or exposure to a multitude of clinical situations a student might find challenging. Always, providing a caring, and sense of security for the students is helpful and appreciated.
Some back up plans may be just that..."let's back up and review that procedure" or "let's take a closer look at how this supposed to work". These reassurances can translate into meaningful experiences if the back-up plan includes a little extra time to get something clarified.
