title: Baccalaureate nursing students' accounts of medical mistakes occurring in the clinical setting: implications for curricula.
abstract: Since the Institute of Medicine's landmark report on medical mistakes, To Err Is Human, was published, considerable attention has been given to training medical professionals about medical mistakes. However, little research has been conducted to explore the experiences of nursing students with mistakes made during their clinical rotations. If nurse educators are to teach nursing students how to deal with mistakes appropriately, it is necessary to have a more complete understanding of the types of mistakes nursing students make during their training, how and if they communicate about their mistakes, and students' perceptions of how prepared they were to address the mistakes. Greater knowledge in this area will help nurse educators better prepare nursing students to intercept and report mistakes. This article presents research results from three components of a larger qualitative research study that explored the socialization processes of nursing students in regard to medical mistakes.
