The nursing students in the control group received conventional apprenticeship , while the nursing students in the observation group were taught with the teaching method induced by nursing risks. At the end of internship period, the nursing students were compared based on their performance in theory and practice tests. Results The scores of theory and practice tests of nursing students in the observation group were (93.7±4.2) , (92.9±3.5) , higher than that in the control group [ (83.3±3.2) , (85.2±3.3) ], the differences were statistically significant (t=2.283, 2.363; P<0.05) . Conclusions The teaching method induced by nursing risks, compared with traditional apprenticeship, can improve the internship effects of nursing students in the Department of Radiotherapy.
