A survey design was used with 81 educators who were teaching maternity or women's health nursing and its practicum.RESULTS:
Most clinical sites for practicum were university hospitals (43.0%), women's hospitals (32.7%), or general hospitals (17.3%); but the majority (77.8%) of educators expressed difficulty in finding appropriate practicum places.
