Abstract

Nurses are expected to apply genomic concepts in clinical practice. This study evaluated undergraduate nursing students' genomic knowledge and attitudes about using this knowledge in practice. Using a pretest-posttest design, findings indicated that students' knowledge was poor, but improved over a semester with genomics content. Most students did not feel ready to use this knowledge in the clinical setting. These findings suggest the need for more genomic education in nursing curriculum.
