ABSTRACT: Nursing student engagement is a critical and enhancing means of ensuring students stay within their education, and subsequently within the nursing profession. Engaged students with having higher ethical standards and behaviors, are certainly “caring” with their care delivery, and are dependable and competent with their teamwork. These are rewarding aspects of nursing practice. This research evaluates student nurses’ perceptions and their sense of engagement in relation to nursing and their educational experiences.
