“…Inaccurate perceptions of a career in nursing may lead some individuals into a working life that fails to meet their expectations, abilities, or personal characteristics. 16 There is also a problem of limited space available in nursing education programs for those who wish to enter the profession. Schools of nursing face funding cuts, a shortage of nursing faculty, and insufficient classroom and clinical space when trying to expand student enrollment.…”

Nurs Ethics

This qualitative research study, a replication of a study published in 2002, investigated the qualities of a good nurse and the role ethics plays in decision making. After reviewing the limitations of the published work, the current study implemented modifications related to the research questions, sample selection, data collection, and use of software for data analysis. The original study identified seven categories that related to being a good nurse and doing the right thing. In the present study, the use of relational analysis led to the recognition of four categories: (1) personal traits and attributes; (2) technical skills and management of care; (3) work environment and co-workers; and (4) caring and caring behaviors. To understand what it means to be a good nurse and do the right thing is a complex task; however, this research adds to the small amount of empirical data that exists to describe those characteristics.

SUMMARY -Th e aim of this study was to determine the attitudes of nursing students towards nursing, and changes in their attitudes during the study. A quantitative study with pre-post survey was conducted among nursing students enrolled in fi rst study year in the academic year 2012/2013 (N=115) and third study year in the academic year 2014/2015 (N=106). Students voluntarily and anonymously completed a questionnaire consisting of demographic information and the Nursing Image Questionnaire, which includes 30 items that assess how an individual looks at the roles and tasks, values, social stereotypes of nursing, professionalism and performance of nurses. Th e results indicated that students had positive attitude towards nursing at the beginning and during the study. During the study, there was a positive change in attitudes in the majority of items of the questionnaire, whereas at the end of the study lower attitude was expressed in only four items. Th e study conducted among nursing students indicated that students' attitudes changed during the study, infl uenced by the acquisition of knowledge and skills. During the study, students acquire a more realistic perception of nursing, and adoption of professional values emerges.

“…Kao razlozi odabira sestrinske profesije u literaturi se navode želja za ljudskim kontaktom, mogućnost pomaganja drugima, osjećaj da rade nešto korisno i sigurnost radnog mjesta [2][3][4][5] . Jedan je od razloga za odabir sestrinske profesije i prethodni kontakt s medicinskim sestrama koje su njegovale nekog od članova njihove obitelji, odnosno poznavanje medicinskih sestara (medicinska je sestra član obitelji ili prijatelj obitelji).…”

studenti slažu se da pacijenti uglavnom imaju pozitivna i podijeljena mišljenja o medicinskim sestrama. Uočena je razlika u odgovorima medicinskih sestara i studenta s obzirom na njihova mišljenja o tome što društvo i liječ-nici misle o medicinskim sestrama. Studenti, za razliku od zaposlenih medicinskih sestara, navode da smatraju da društvo i liječnici imaju pozitivnija mišljenja o sestrama. Dio studenata smatra da društvo ima stereotipna mišljenja o medicinskim sestrama.Rezultati istraživanja ukazuju da na razvoj profesionalnog identiteta i percepcije o sestrinstvu značajan utjecaj imaju mediji, okolina i edukacija. Mišljenja studenata sestrinstva u znatnoj su mjeri usklađena s mišljenjima zaposlenih medicinskih sestara, što može ukazivati na lakše uklapanje na radno mjesto po završetku studija.
