Expectations of Student Nurses from Instructors in Clinics, Classrooms and Out of Classroom Settings

The expectations of students from theoretical and practical education as well as from their instructors have gained importance in forming effective education processes. This descriptive and cross-sectional study aims to identify the expectations of student nurses from instructors in clinics, classrooms and out of classroom settings. The target population was 600 2nd, 3rd and 4th year nursing students, and the total number of participants was 411 students. The data was collected through a questionnaire and analyzed in IBM SPSS Statistics 20, using percentages and arithmetic means. The study found that participants generally have expectations from instructors about their teaching skills, knowledge, ability, communication and evaluation skills, and the ratio of satisfaction for these expectations is low. It is recommended that at the end of each course or semester, each course and instructor should be evaluated by students, and group discussions and in-service training programs should be organized following the feedback obtained
