Tone Stikholmen PhD student. VID Specialized UniversityBergen, Norwaytone.stikholmen@vid.no This ongoing PhD-project will explore the qualitative and relational aspects of nursing education.  The aim of the study is to facilitate increased understanding of how nursing students experience their own sense of dignity and what significance this may have in their education.INTRODUCTION BACKGROUND METHODSExperiencing dignity is fundamental  to human beings. In nursing practice, dignity is considered a core value and is expressed through various codes of  ethics, which guide the professional practice. During their education, the nursing students shall be formed into this professional practice and learn to promote dignity through experience and good role models. This is a qualitative study with a hermeneutical approach. Nineteen nursing students (4 male and 15 female) in their last academic year, from six different nursing schools in Norway, participated in the study. The students narrated their experiences of dignity during their education, either in writing or verbally, and this served as a starting point for the interview. Nursing student`s dignity is promoted if students becomeInvested inIncludedSeenHeardAcceptedAppreciatedLeading the nursing  students to feel:In controlSecure Capable“She made me feel visible. It felt good be-cause when I had a tough time, it felt good not having to carry everything alone.”Nursing students experience of dignity during education“I absolutely did not feel respected and met as a person. There was nothing worthy about our conversation. I felt insecure, very weak and very small.”The results show that if nursing students experience dignity, this will influence what degree of courage, self-confidence and what feeling of assurance they will have in their nursing practice. It also affects the development of their nursing identity and their sense of pride in becoming a nurse. On the other hand, lack of dignity experience inhibit their learning process, reduce their motivation to complete their education, and have a big impact on their life and their ability to care for others.   “When I recognize dignity in myself, it`s easier to promote dignity in others.”Dagfinn NådenProfessor.
