Professional experience from the perspective of a nursing student
ŠKRDLETOVÁ, Adéla
Introduction: The thesis focuses on the issue of general nurse education. In greater detail, it focuses on professional nursing practice. Educating nurses is necessary to ensure a high-quality and safe care. Practical teaching makes up a large portion of pre-gradual education, that is why it is necessary to give it the much-needed attention. Students acquire both theoretical and practical knowledge as well as experience during their practice, which are necessary for their future profession. The aim of this thesis: The main aim of this bachelor thesis was to research the students´ opinions related to professional nursing practice. Methodology: To reach the set goals, a qualitative research method was used. Data collection was implemented via a semi-structured interview with general nursing students at the Faculty of Health and Social Sciences of the University of South Bohemia. The interviews were divided into three categories for better clarity and the total amount of questions were 28. The acquired answers were analysed using open coding. Results: Results have proven that the students´ expectations are rather positive and rely in improving oneself in practical skills, acquiring independence via practice, acquiring self-esteem and a greater knowledge when choosing a future job. Cooperating with nursing staff relies on an individual level, influenced mainly by the nurse´s personality. The experience of students in their practical courses is positive, neutral as well as negative, influenced mainly by the staff and their interest in students, type of ward, mentoring, stress as well as ward equipment. Conclusion: Results have proven that students at professional practice need to be given the necessary attention. Student happiness is an important factor that should be a common primary interest in both, teachers and staff.
