Purpose: The purpose of this study was to identify the clinical practice experiences of nursing students who completed the courses of nursing curricula in college. Method: The data was collected using a questionnaire with 191 task elements in 8 nursing standards specified by the Korean Nurses Association(2003), from December 2004 to January 2005. Three hundred thirty-three nursing students from five three-year and five four-year colleges of nursing were selected for respondents. Result: The nursing activities which over 70% of the students had performance experiences with were 23 items(12.04%) practiced frequently in clinical settings, simple, low in malpractice risk and noninvasive in characteristic. In addition, the nursing activities which under 30% of students had performance experiences with were 87 items(45.55%). The nursing activities which over 70% of students had only observation experiences with were 20 items(10.47%). Also, the nursing activities that over 30% of students didn't have any experiences with were 19 items(9.95%) not frequently seen in the clinical setting. Conclusion: It is concluded that the students are not fully qualified as the new nurses of the future. Therefore, every effort to develop a more effective clinical nursing education in school, clinical settings and in students themselves is needed.

The purpose of this study is to define the implications for improving the performance confidence of nursing students. The study was conducted by surveying a target sample of nursing students. The following data were collected: students' knowledge regarding patient safety, performance confidence, and nursing professional value. The subjects were 309 junior and senior students in the department of nursing science in K University located in G and K province. The data was collected from October 15, 2017 to November 15, 2017. The collected data were analyzed with the SPSS 23.0K using descriptive statistics, t-test, One-Way ANOVA, and Pearson Correlation Coefficient. The study results were that the senior students showed a significantly higher level of knowledge about patient safety than did the junior students (t=3.69, p<.001). With the exceptions of two attributes, education regarding the patient safety and nursing professional value, all other characteristics were variables to a significant difference in performance confidence (p<.05). Moreover, all characteristics except for the school year were variables to a significant difference in nursing professional value (p<.05). A weak correlation was shown between the knowledge regarding patient safety and performance confidence (r=.148, p<.001). A moderate correlation was shown between nursing professional value and performance confidence (r=.456, p<.001). Reinforced education regarding patient safety is recommended to improve the nursing students' performance confidence for clinical practice.

This study examined the factors affecting the emergency nursing performance of nursing students during a simulation. The variables related to the simulation were the objective and subjective emergency nursing performance, critical thinking, program outcome, simulation satisfaction, simulation confidence, and simulation immersion. The participants were 92 senior students who provided informed consent with an explanation about attending the study. The general characteristics and simulation-related data were obtained from the students before and after the simulation. An assessor evaluated the objective emergency nursing performance during the simulation and program outcome through a report reviewed after the simulation. Data analysis was performed using the number, percentage, mean, standard deviation, X²-test, one-way ANOVA, Pearson correlation, and progressive regression through the SPSS/WIN 22.0 program. Emergency nursing performance by the assessor was negatively associated with the satisfaction of clinical practice (r=-.31, p=.005) and positively related to the subjective clinical performance (r=.23, p=.036). The affecting rate was just 12%, which was low for explaining the objective emergency nursing performance during the simulation. Further studies will be needed to explore other factors affecting the emergency nursing performance.
