Aim: The aim of this national study was to explore student and faculty personal experiences of ethical dilemmas in nursing education and clinical practice.
Background: Nurses encounter complex ethical dilemmas in practice that can lead to moral distress when they cannot "do the right thing" because of external constraints.
Method: A mixed-methods study via online survey was conducted on senior nursing student members and faculty advisors of the National Student Nurses Association. Over 1,600 students and 600 faculty answered a "two-minute survey" with the question: "Please describe an ethical dilemma you have experienced."
Results: Descriptive statistics demonstrated a difference in student and faculty reports about the ethics content they received. The qualitative results from constant comparison of open-ended questions also supported differences in themes from student and faculty perspectives.
Conclusion: This study supports that students and faculty voice their concerns with different ethical dilemmas in their nursing education experiences.
