Observational Experience. An assignment to a facility or unit where students observe the role of the facility and the role of nurse within the facility, but where students do not participate in direct patient care. Direct faculty or preceptor supervision is not required for an observational experience outside the clinical facility. Observational experiences may be used to supplement, but not replace direct patient care experiences (NHHS, 2006).
