  • Disch_Exploring_how_nsg_schools_handle_student_errors.pdf

    In our experience, some faculty members continue to believe that indi­ vidual self­vigilance is what matters most, and that if an error or a near miss occurs, the student is at fault. Others have commented that talking about errors or By Joanne Disch, PhD, RN, FAAN, Jane Barnsteiner, PhD, RN, FAAN, Susan Connor, PhD, RN, and Fabiana Brogren, BA 26 AJN ▼ October 2017 ▼ Vol. 117, No. 10 ajnonline.com acknowledging the need for a cultural change toward errors might inadvertently condone their occurrence.
