However, the exceedingly fast development of advanced nursing education, abrupt increasing of clinical nursing teachers, and 30-year's interruption of advanced nursing education have resulted in the fact that the basic quality of new clinical teachers cannot meet the needs of clinical nursing teaching. Meanwhile under the influence of mammonism and market economy, there appears some anomy of teacher's ethics, such as bad career identity, deflected sense of values, lack of love for patients and students, more attention to clinical nursing and less to its teaching.
