Ledarskapet är en del av sjuksköterskans arbete och ingår i sjuksköterskans profession. Sjuksköterskestudenterna behöver vara förberedda för rollen som arbetsledare. Syftet med studien är att beskriva sjuksköterskestudenters uppfattningar om sin framtida yrkesroll som arbetsledare. Datamaterialet består av intervjuer med tio sjuksköterskestudenter som studerar på en högskola i Västsverige.  Åldern på sjuksköterskestudenterna varierar mellan 22 och 38 år. Intervjuerna spelades in på band och transkriberades. En kvalitativ analysmetod valdes för att analysera insamlad data. Efter genomförd analys kunde fyra huvudkategorier urskiljas. Huvudkategorierna är sjuksköterskans ansvar, samarbeta, förberedelse och personlig lämplighet. Under dessa huvudkategorier framkom åtta underkategorier. Resultatet visar att sjuksköterskestudenterna upplever att de inte är tillräckligt förberedda för rollen som arbetsledare. Sjuksköterskestudenterna anser att sjuksköterskans ansvar innebär att ge information och undervisning till patienter, studenter och kollegor samt att leda och fördela arbetet. Sjuksköterskestudenterna upplever att samarbete innebär att arbeta tillsammans med alla yrkeskategorier, vara flexibel samt att verka för en god kommunikation i arbetslaget. De upplever att de saknar ledarskapsutbildning och pedagogiska kunskaper. Sjuksköterskestudenterna anser att personlig lämplighet påverkar ledarskapsrollen. / Leadership is part of the nurse's work and included in the nurse profession. Nursingstudents need to be prepared for the role as a leader. The aim of the study is to describenursing students’ perceptions of their future professional role as a leader. The data materialconsists of interviews with ten nursing students studying at a college in western Sweden.The age of nursing students varies between 22 and 38 years. The interviews were recordedand transcribed. A qualitative analysis method was chosen to analyze the data gathered.After the analysis were four main categories identified. The main categories are the nurse'sresponsibility, cooperate, preparation and personal quality. Under these main categoriesemerged eight subcategories. The result shows that nursing students perceive that they areinadequately prepared for the role as a leader. Nursing students believe that the nurse'sresponsibility to provide information and education to patients, students and colleagues andto lead and share the work. Nursing students felt that collaboration involves workingtogether with all professions, be flexible and to promote good communication in the team.They feel that they lack management training and educational skills. Nursing studentsthink that personal quality affect leadership role.
