The purpose of this study was to investigate the frequency, type and causes of MEDICATION ERRORs of nursing students.Materials and Methods: This was a descriptive study conducted in Arak University of Medical Sciences. Seventy six students were selected through census method of sampling. A questionnaire, consisting two sections of demographic information and questions about MEDICATION ERRORs, was completed by students. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics.Results: According to findings, 17.1 % of students reported MEDICATION ERRORs and 43.42 % reported impending MEDICATION ERRORs. The most common type of error was wrong dose of medication, the most common cause of which was poor pharmacologic knowledge. Heparin, Dopamin, Dubotamin, Vancomycin, Phenytoin and Captoprile were the most prevailing drugs about which the students reported errors.Conclusion: Results showed that the rate of MEDICATION ERRORs in nursing student was high.
