Abstract:
This article discusses whether nursing students can gain confidence and become accepted as members of the team in their first clinical placement. The topic emerged from a study looking at the experiences of a cohort of diploma-level nursing students undertaking a general training programme. Six 45-minute interviews were conducted in a large teaching hospital in Dublin. The results indicated that by demonstrating procedures repeatedly nurses can accelerate a student's ability to become a productive member of the ward team.
