Nursing Student Attitudes toward Cancer Patients

Purpose:
Since cancer affects most families in America and the number of cancer survivors is growing, there is an urgent need to explore reasons why prelicensure nursing students lack the aspiration to care for patients with cancer on a Nationwide level; a study which has not been investigated previously.

Intervention:
This is a mix-method descriptive survey design study. Qualitative and quantitative data will be obtained through an original online survey with follow-up telephone interviews. Survey questions were derived from current nursing education literature. Recruitment will be conducted via a National Student Nurses Association email distribution.
