The concept of 'readiness to practice' of nursing students is not well understood even though being 'ready for practice' is the focus of undergraduate programs. The aim of this study was to critically explore senior student's views about their readiness to practice as a registered nurse. This study was undertaken in a school of nursing in the South Island of New Zealand. The participants included all senior nursing students assigned to their final clinical practicum from five cohorts across two and half years. The response rate for the survey across five cohorts was 46% (n = 245). The majority of students were New Zealand European females aged 30 years or younger. Students felt they were confident with their professional responsibilities and considered that they had prepared well for the profession. They agreed that they were confident with their communication skills. Areas of concern were; caring for a dying patient and caring for more than four patients at one time. This study suggests that senior nursing students feel they are work ready.
尽管“为实践做好准备”是本科课程的重点，但护理学生的“实践准备就绪”的概念仍未得到很好的理解。本研究旨在批判性地探讨高年级学生对作为注册护士的实践准备程度的看法。这项研究是在新西兰南岛的一所护理学校进行的。参与者包括来自两个半学年的五个批次中被分配到最后临床实习的所有高级护理学生。五个批次的调查回复率为 46%（n=245）。大多数学生是新西兰欧洲裔女性，年龄在 30 岁或以下。学生们对自己的专业责任充满信心，并认为自己为职业做了充分的准备。他们同意自己对沟通技巧有信心。关注的领域包括：照顾临终患者和一次照顾四个以上患者。本研究表明，高级护理学生认为他们已经做好了工作准备。
