As a nursing student, I know that right now I have limited knowledge and can only provide the care I have been trained to give. We as nursing students, going into the clinical setting, feel that we may be more of a hindrance to the care team than a help; when really, even though we may be focusing our care on 1 or 2 patients, that is 1 or 2 patients that the on-duty nurses do not have to care for themselves. This can prevent fatigue in the care team members. It is the little things that we can do, to make a difference. It doesn’t even have to be in the hospital setting, nursing students can make a difference by getting involved in community events such as; Operation Christmas child, Relay for life, and fundraisers for health research . This can promote teamwork, put a positive face on the student nurse population, and most importantly make a difference in the lives of others.
