The impressions of a sample of British and overseas student nurses of some social aspects of their training1

Abstract
As part of a larger study, female student nurses from overseas and Britain in four training schools for the general nursing register were interviewed to obtain their perceptions of their reception at the hospital, their later welfare, and some of their general reactions to their training. Differences between the British and overseas student nurses were mainly related to experience before training and their reception at the hospital. Many similarities between the two groups were also found with respect to their later experiences and attitudes toward nursing. A proportion of the overseas students had experienced expressions of racial prejudice from patients.
