    A very interesting Lens. I did nursing years ago, and as students we spent time on the wards from day one, as well as studying in the classroom. From what I hear these days, students do not get the hans on experience we did, and this must make it more difficult for them to understand patients needs. I hear a lot of stories of patients not being helped to eat and wash etc, which are a big concern. Whatever way students learn the theory, they need to understand and have experience of basic patient care from an early stage in their training. Maybe it's different in countries other than the UK!
