ABSTRACT=Introductions: An exceedingly small amount of scientific research concerns the response to patient death among nursing students. There was a need to examine their perspective on the patient's death with which they experience during their studies. 
Material and methods: The research was conducted in May 2019 using Google form on social media. The 467 nursing students answered questions about their experience with the patient’s death.
Results: The subject of the research was how early and how often nursing students meet a patient's death. Authors wanted to check the subjective assessment of students' preparation for the death of a patient and their perception of classes conducted in this area.
Conclusions: Nursing students encounter the death of a patient very often and very early. Some of them experience this during the first year. Although the curriculum includes content related to the care of a dying patient, students believe that there is still too little of it and that it does not prepare it in a satisfactory manner.
