Abstract
Background:
Compassion is currently at the forefront of healthcare policy and is debated both nationally and internationally in relation to practice and education (Dewar, 2013). Previous work by the author (Hunter, 2010) explored the experiences of student nurses within the Emergency Department. By reviewing the literature, it was apparent that the experiences of student nurses themselves regarding
compassionate care has received little attention. There appeared to be no studies which looked at the combined phenomena of student nurses, compassionate care and the Emergency Department.
