Introduction
For many years, nursing has had no formal training before practicing.
When one takes care of a sick family member or works with a priest, he is
considered as a nurse. This had continued the Crimean War when
Nightingale’s study suggested that nurses must be educated. It was supported
by studies of other nurses, leaders, and pioneers who advocated the needs of
the nurses to have formal education. Through these studies, the concept of
nursing has been expanded and subsequently, its definitions and roles have
become broader to meet the changing needs of the society.
with critical thinking ability, and with knowledge and skills in communication
and in nursing research and leadership which will meet the needs of the
society in the light of global concerns. Incorporated in nursing curriculum is the
related learning experience. According to the Section 25 of Republic Act 9173,
nursing education program requires sound general and professional
foundation for the practice but learning experience must adhere strictly to

Commission on Higher Education’s policies and standard of nursing
education. CHED has formulated some conditions that must be observed in
related learning experience.
2. What are the preparations done by the students for their exposure at
MMC in terms of return demonstration and GP Tools?
3. What is the extent of readiness of the students to be exposed in the
clinical area/hospital for RLE?
4. Is there a significant relationship between the extent of readiness of the
respondents and their profile?
their patients and in facing situations in the clinical area. This study would use
in the return demonstration and GP tool in order to determine the readiness of
the respondents to be exposed in the hospital for RLE.
This study would tackle the issues regarding the early exposure of the
respondents in the clinical area and the concern as to whether they have
enough knowledge, skills and attitude to be in different clinical areas. The
respondents are currently enrolled in the 2nd semester as 1st year student of
MMC- CAST, academic year 2009-2010. The study would be completed
before or during the last week of January, year 2010 depending on the
availability of the respondents.
The study will benefit the following aspects of the nursing research.
Nursing Practice. The outcome of the study will help the Level I students of
MMC-CAST in improving the knowledge, skills and attitude, and their overall
