Adult-health/medical-surgical nurses' perceptions of students' contributions to clinical agencies.
The nursing shortage and accompanying increase in nurses' workloads could suggest that the presence of nursing students on clinical units would further increase nurses' responsibilities. Counterbalancing this concern is the need to adequately prepare the next generation of dedicated and skilled nurses. The question arises as to whether nursing students are an asset or liability to clinical agencies.
