Whatever the programme reforms may be, a nursing training cannot be imagined without the clinical practical training because the profession has always been taught and will still be taught by the bed of the patient. This research work is interested in this essential training time that is the practical training of application in which the students, the people in charge: the training tutors and the trainers are involved. More particularly and in a psychosocial approach, it tries to enlighten the difficulties in practices, the communication and the collaboration among these training actors, and this, thanks to the theoretical models of professional representation (M. Bataille, 1997) and of professional involvement (C. Mias, 1998). Finally, from the analysis of the survey data, it proposes some actions to improve this dual education system enabling some work on the meaning, the landmarks, and the feeling of control about the practical training for each of them, so as to strengthen their collaboration and to make their strengths come together for the acknowledgement of the nurse skills and at the service of the patients.
