“…As the medication administration process is not closely monitored and there is no weighted system for properly recording and reporting medication errors, it is expected that the prevalence of medication errors carried out by nursing students is higher than reported in the studies. 18 There are also some medication errors which remain unreported due to the negative reactions of clinical trainers and nursing management. 18 Even though the cause of medication errors by nursing students is still unknown, learning the “5 rights” rule regarding the administration of medications, namely, “right patient”, “right drug”, “right dose”, “right route of administration”, and “right time”, will greatly reduce the likelihood of medication errors.…”

Introduction: Health promotion and patient safety are the main targets of the healthcare provision by the National Health Systems. As for the nursing profession, nursing students make medication errors during clinical interventions, which could be a potential danger to patient safety. Aim: The investigation of the frequency of nursing student medication errors, as well as the frequency of each type of nursing student medication errors. Methods: A systematic review of the literature was conducted on the electronic database "PubMed" with the keywords: "medication error", "prescribing error", "drug error", "drug use error", "drug mistake", "wrong drug", "wrong dose", "administration error", "dispensing error", "incorrect drug", "incorrect dose", "inappropriate prescribing", "inappropriate medication", "transcription error", "nursing student", "nursing trainee" and on the Greek electronic database IATROTEK-online with the keywords: "medication errors" and "nursing students", without time limit for the publication of scientific papers. On PubMed, the keywords were searched in the title and abstract of the studies. Studies were excluded if they were not published in English and Greek language, were conducted on animals, and were case studies, editorials, and letters to the editor. Results: Of the 47 scientific papers retrieved, 6 were included in the systematic review. A total of 1,904 nursing student medication errors were recorded by nursing students. The majority of errors were: 1) wrong dose form (330,17%), 2) omission error (313, 16.4%), and 3) wrong time (259, 13.6%). Conclusions: The frequency of nursing student medication errors is high. The safe administration of medications is an important skill that nursing students should learn. At a theoretical and practical/clinical level, it would be advisable for clinical nurses and academics to jointly develop an educational program to acquire correct knowledge and perceptions regarding safe medication administration. Keywords: nursing students, medication errors, theoretical education, clinical practice
