Undergraduate nursing students have been reported to hold negative and stigmatizing attitudes towards mental health consumers and to be under‐prepared for mental health clinical placement. This study aimed to investigate undergraduate nurses’ stigma and recovery attitudes to mental illness, and describe their understandings of personal recovery on entry and exit to traditional mental health clinical placement. A pre/post‐test survey was administered to N = 249 nursing students in Australia. Demographic data, attitudes towards mental health nursing and clinical placement, the Opening Minds Scale for Healthcare Providers (OMS‐HC), Recovery Attitudes Questionnaire (RAQ‐7), and an open‐ended question on understandings of personal recovery from mental illness were collected on entry (T1) and exit (T2) to placement. At T1, students reported moderate stigma and positive attitudes towards recovery (OMS‐HC mean = 34.6; RAQ‐7 mean = 4.0). At T2, there was a reduction in stigma (social distance P = 0.02, d = 0.26) and improvement in recovery attitudes (P < 0.01, d = 0.40). Attitudes towards mental health nursing and placement also improved (P < 0.01). Having a family member with mental illness predicted improvements in stigma and recovery attitudes. On entry to placement, most students described accurate understandings of personal recovery, which were maintained during placement. The findings indicate that mental health clinical placements are effective in improving students’ mental health stigma and recovery attitudes and provide a prime opportunity to attract students into the field. Co‐produced or consumer‐led education provided by peer workers during clinical placements may improve students’ stigmatizing attitudes and stimulate their interest to work in the field.

La productivité de la banque de détail a connu en France entre 1994 et 2000 une croissance appréciable dans laquelle les TIC ont joué un rôle très important : directement, par leur mise en oeuvre dans l'automatisation des back offices et le développement des canaux à distance ; indirectement en faisant évoluer le mix de paiements vers les moyens électroniques et en captant les synergies de consolidation par les effets d'échelle. Néanmoins, la comparaison avec les États-Unis et l'Allemagne et l'analyse de nombreuses initiatives menées ces dernières années par les banques indiquent que de nombreux potentiels restent à exploiter dans l'utilisation des TIC, dont Internet : le développement accru des canaux à distance, leur intégration plus harmonieuse dans la gestion de la relation clients, la poursuite de l'évolution vers les moyens de paiements électroniques et les investissements de productivité.
