To explore how nurse educators can address the challenges presented by students undertaking external work.

Main Methods:

Qualitative analysis of the current student nurse employment landscape.

Main Results:

Many pre-registration student nurses, despite their supernumerary status, are engaged in external employment.
This external employment may compromise their intended educational freedom and learning experiences.
The situation presents a novel challenge for nurse educators.
