K-12 programs often have taught students to be test-oriented, and when successful high school students enter a nursing program, they often quickly learn that the stakes are different and how students "used to study" no longer applies. Today's nursing students are excited for their future career, but it seems far off compared to the immediate need to pass the NCLEX. As programs across the nation are struggling to secure clinical time and students' access to patients is more limited, sometimes they struggle to understand the real-world perspective. It is not uncommon for a new nurse today, fully immersed in today's complex healthcare landscape, to often report that she or he "did not know what to expect."br / br /emProfessional Issues in Nursing: Challenges & Opportunities/em features contemporary and enduring issues in professional nursing.
