Through strategies like team-based learning and interprofessional education, the importance of teamwork in nursing education is highlighted. Objective: To assess nursing student perception regarding teamwork in a private nursing college in Karachi. Methods: A validated questionnaire was used in this cross-sectional study at Horizon School of Nursing in Pakistan, among 175 Bachelor of Science in Nursing students. Data were gathered over the course of four months, and demographic correlations were examined using SPSS version 26.0. The study placed a high priority on ethical considerations.Results: The attitudes and perspectives of nursing students on teamwork in healthcare settings are examined in this study. Although 80% of participants acknowledge shared duties, a considerable number (76%) exhibit aversion towards working in teams. Issues including unequal workload distribution (52.6%) and perceived low importance on personal opinions (57.1%) are common among those surveyed. Furthermore, most of the respondents saw team meetings as time-consuming (76%), ineffective (57.1%), and leading to a decrease in workload (68%). Still, the majority (73.7%) acknowledge that teamwork improves talent as well. Conclusion: The study on nursing students' perspectives of cooperation reveals a complicated environment characterized by problems such as incomplete assignments, shared responsibility, and non-participation.
