While there are several variations of the Dedicated Education Unit (DEU), the basic premise is a clinical model where training of nursing students and quality practice are the two key processes (Claeys, 2015). The DEU is considered an intensive clinical experience compared to the traditional model, where one clinical instructor is assigned a group of six to eight students that operates in the margins rather than as part of the unit (Edgecombe, et al, 1999, Claeys, et al, 2015 and Crawford, et al, 2018).
