CHECKLIST OF QUALITY RELATED LEARNING EXPERIENCE (RLE)

Direction: The following are themes, attributes and descriptions that can be useful, necessary and essential part in measuring Quality Related
Learning Experiences of student nurses in Clinical Area. Please identify if the following themes, attributes and descriptions are useful, necessary and
essential in measuring Quality Related Learning Experiences of Student Nurses by checking [/] each components based on the following scale:
(Please do not leave each component unmarked).

SCALE: 0 – information is not useful/not necessary and not essential,

1 – information is useful/necessary, but not essential,
2 – information is useful/necessary and essential

Your answer should not be based on what you experienced in your school and affiliating hospital. It should be based whether the information is
useful, necessary and essential quality of RLE needed by student nurses. This will help the researcher in developing and validating standardized tool
to measure quality of RLE needed by student nurses.
