A Qualitative Study of Nursing Student Experiences of Clinical Practice
Introduction and Purpose
1.) According to the March/April 2010 issue, JOURNAL FOR NURSES IN STAFF DEVELOPMENT published an article “Expectations, Perceptions, and Satisfaction of Graduate Nurses”.

After completing the individualize interview each new graduate completed...
