[Rational Drug Usage Status of Nursing Students].

The nursing students in our study were found to have inadequacies in some issues related to rational use of medicines (e.g. taking medicines with a prescription, using medicines on time and not changing medicine doses without physician's suggestions). In this context, it is advisable to develop guidance and counseling programs for the development of rational drug use behaviors of nursing students and to include this subject in detail in nursing undergraduate education course curricula.
