This is an English translation of a paper from Tikiusaaq, a union magazine for nurses in Greenland, addressing challenges regarding nursing education in Greenland. Ilisimatusarfik, the University of Greenland, is therefore working on developing action research to improve nursing education. Preliminary results from the first part of the action research design, focusing on describing the existing nursing practices, are exemplified here. From this, we may conclude that
future action research on developing a desirable and feasible implementable nursing education should focus on more than just the technical and academic aspect. There is likely a need to develop activities that promote well-being and prepare nursing students for the emotional challenges of being responsible for nursing care in smaller towns and settlements where there may not even be a doctor.
