It also sought to identify student nurses expectation of nursing before entering nursing education and training, whether their expectations have changed and find the reasons why. The study was also concerned with student nurses suggestions which could help other school leavers choose nursing as a career. The study showed that students in the sample had various people and things influencing them to choose nursing before commencing training. Most of them were able to discuss their feelings with various persons. The study also showed that students had various expectations of nursing before joining nursing. However, most students expectations had changed by the time they were three months old in training. This is because of the reality of things they encountered while in nursing education and training. Finally, students in the sample have suggested various ways which could help other school leavers choose nursing as a career.en_US
