Resumen
PARRA ROJO, Alba et al. First approach to a cancer patient: our experience as nursing students. Invest. educ. enferm [online]. 2005, vol.23, n.2, pp.148-152. ISSN 0120-5307.
In this article we reflect about fears, anxieties and the ethical dilemmas we face as practising nursing students in relation to an advanced cancer female patient in absolute poverty but willing to live. We emphasize some ethical principles in nursing practice like responsibility, compassion and solidarity. In this experience we found a gap between scientific-technical preparation and nursing practice. Our nursing training creates many dilemmas for us when we consider the economic and social problems in our environment.
