title: [Updated review on the prevention of biological hazards in the nursing students].
abstract: If the carrying out a practices is something extremely important in all degree studies, in the case of nursing this is something even more fundamental and of great educational impact. During that period, students not only put their knowledge and theory into practice, they get in touch with reality and they also expose themselves to a series of risks inherent to our profession. In addition to that, one has to take into account the appearance of various factors that aggravate their susceptibility, their inexperience as professionals, their exposure to some degree of stress due to the variable conditions and uncertainties in their environment, the lack of coverage under the PRL law makes this group more vulnerable to the risks.
