Description
K Jonsson and colleagues survey hands-on skill practice among nursing students in Scandinavia in a 2026 study. Students from Denmark, Norway, and Sweden answered a questionnaire in 2023 about placements. In total, 706 students reported how often they performed core skills, from breathing and circulation care to medication tasks.
Practice rates ran low and uneven across all study years and skill areas in the reported results. Supervision was mostly at hand, yet some skills lacked enough preceptor input. Gaps spanned basic daily care as well as drug tasks. The authors warn that thin practice may weaken readiness for real wards. Placement planning needs firmer guarantees for core skills, they argue.
