Bachelor of Science in Nursing students' perceptions of being a nurse: A scoping review
2022, Journal of Professional NursingCitation Excerpt :This review identified a variety of factors that influence nursing students' perceptions. Although some perceptions were based upon personal experiences of illness and media exposure (Lai et al., 2008; Mimura et al., 2009; Tunc et al., 2021; van Iersel et al., 2016), it is apparent that societal values and culture are significant. Many studies indicated that nursing is perceived to be a female role (Chauke et al., 2015; Gazzaz, 2009; Henderson et al., 2008; Kulakac et al., 2009; Meadus & Twomey, 2011).
The scale on community care perceptions (scope) for nursing students: A development and psychometric validation study
2018, Nurse Education in PracticeNursing students' perceptions of community care and other areas of nursing practice - A review of the literature
2016, International Journal of Nursing StudiesCitation Excerpt :Student's perceptions of the field generally become more positive as they proceed in the programme and gain more knowledge about the profession (Bolan and Grainger, 2009). In choosing nursing as a study programme and as a career, three underlying factors can be identified: restrictive factors, attractive factors, and internal motivation factors (Mimura et al., 2009). Restrictive factors refer to financial conditions: whether or not the profession makes it possible to earn an income, for example in the role of breadwinner.
The reasons students choose to undertake a nursing degree
2015, CollegianCitation Excerpt :Choosing to work as a nurse has been researched in a number of studies across the world. These studies include journal editorial comment (Mimura, Griffiths, & Norman, 2009) extensive literature review analysis (Duvall & Andrews, 2010; Matutina, Newman, & Jenkins, 2010; Price, 2009a, 2009b), views of high school students (Cohen, Palumbo, Rambur, & Mongeon, 2004; Law & Arthur, 2003; Matutina et al., 2010; Neilson & Jones, 2012; Neilson & Lauder, 2008; Neilson & McNally, 2012), entering and continuing students in nursing programmes at colleges or universities (Grainger & Bolan, 2006; Miers, Rickaby, & Pollard, 2007; Roberts & Ward-Smith, 2010; Williams, Wertenberger, & Gushuliak, 1997) and the influence of family members and others on prospective students in nursing choices (Neilson & Jones, 2012). The most common motivating reason these studies have been undertaken is to develop frameworks and strategies to attract students into nursing.
The two cultures of health worker migration: A Pacific perspective
2014, Social Science and MedicineCitation Excerpt :Family influences, previous family employment histories, a “tradition of service”, and a sense of religious vocation were all influential. Such broad and generally idealistic perspectives, to “help people” and “make a difference”, alongside family pressure and tradition, dominate stated decisions to become a nurse in most global contexts, where some families encouraged health work, even perhaps selfishly, though others discouraged what they perceived as “dirty work” (Price, 2008, p. 15–16; Mimura et al., 2009, p. 2; Connell, 2009a, p. 77–81). Underpinning the rich diversity of reasons for becoming an SHW was the widespread and easily comprehensible aim of helping people, and because there was some degree of prestige and a reasonable salary.
