This paper analyzes the relationship between attitudes towards people with disabilities and the training received by students in the four courses of Nursing degree, in La Fe Nursing School (Valencia). 217 students completed the Scale of Attitudes toward People with Disabilities . The results show a more positive attitude in the late formative period in three of the five subscales of the used instrument: Subscale 1 (evaluation of capabilities and limitations), Subscale 2 (Recognition / denial of rights) and Subscale 3 (Generic Rating). The results allow us to make recommendations for improving the training of nurses and promote better training to recognize the needs of people with disabilities.
