This thesis has explored the characteristics, in terms of masculine traits on the Bem Inventory that student nurses in a diploma nursing program believed their role models in nursing possessed. In the study, student nurses nearing the end of their basic nursing education selected a greater number of masculine traits for their role models than did student nurses beginning their basic nursing education.The thesis also explored the position of the students' role model. Student nurses nearing the end of their basic nursing education more frequently identified staff nurses as their role models, followed in frequency by supervisors and nursing faculty. Student nurses beginning their basic nursing education more frequently identified nursing faculty as role models, followed in frequency by staff' nurses.Ball State UniversityMuncie, IN 57406
