Perioperative nursing is in crisis because of the difficulty recruiting sufficient numbers of graduate nurses and the threat of nonnursing employees performing traditional nursing duties. The relative unpopularity of perioperative nursing as a career choice for graduate nurses is commonly attributed to little exposure to the specialty's theory and practice in undergraduate nursing education programs. This article discusses results of a longitudinal study's first phase to ascertain career preferences of undergraduate nursing students. Findings suggest that when students begin nursing programs, they consider perioperative nursing a favorable career option. Few studies regarding student nurses' attitudes toward perioperative nursing exist, making these results significant.
围手术期护理正处于危机之中，原因在于难以招募到足够数量的本科毕业护士，以及非护理人员承担传统护理职责的威胁。围手术期护理作为本科毕业护士职业选择相对不受欢迎，通常归因于本科护理教育项目中对该专业理论和实践的接触较少。本文讨论了一项纵向研究第一阶段的结果，以确定本科护理学生的职业偏好。研究结果表明，当学生开始护理课程时，他们认为围手术期护理是一个不错的职业选择。关于实习护士对围手术期护理态度的研究很少，因此这些结果具有重要意义。
