Abstract

INTRODUCTION- Nursing students’ first clinical exposure may raise anxiety as they question their ability and experienced a lack of confidence as they adjust themselves in the clinical learning environment. AIM- To explore the lived experiences of first-time Baccalaureate nursing students in the clinical area. METHODS- A phenomenological qualitative research design was utilized where 18 Baccalaureate nursing students were individually interviewed. Data were analyzed using the seven steps of Collaizi’s method. RESULT- Three main themes that emerged were clinical practice on the first-hand look; uncertainties in a new learning environment; and nursing as a life-changing experience. Subthemes were recorded and explained in the research report. CONCLUSION- Nursing students who had their first-ever exposure to clinical practice had various experiences both positive and negative. The Nursing College must emphasize comprehensive orientation before students’ exposure to clinical practice.
