N2  - AIM: The aim of this study is to assess the effects of graduation and working as a health professional employee on the awareness of patient safety. METHODS: This prospective descriptive study was performed in Nursing Department of Namık Kemal university Health High School. Final year students (n=44) studying in Nursing Department and junior nurses (n=35) recently graduated from the same school were involved. The data dealing with the socio-demographic characteristics and the awareness on the patient safety were collected by using a specially prepared data sheath following a face to face interview. The collected data was analyzed by using SPSS for Windows 17.0 statistical package program. Pearson Chi-Square and Fisher’s Exact tests were preferred for intergroup comparisons. RESULTS: Junior nurses compared to the student nurses were more aware of the identifi cation of the medical errors and the characteristics that would lead to medical errors (p < 0.05). All participants agreed on that an orientation based education and working experience would be effective in decreasing medical error rates. CONCLUSION: Graduation from the school and working as a health professional employee increases the awareness of a nurse on patient safety
