RESULTS: The average score for observation of nursing role activity was 2.16+/-0.29, and for performance 1.61+/-0.29. Among the college students, the mean item score for observation was highest for medication administrator and lowest for provider of spiritual & bereavement care, while for the university students the highest was for provider of care during surgery and lowest for provider of spiritual & bereavement care. The college students had higher scores for observation, and the university students for performance.
