OBJECTIVE
To explore the perception of newly enrolled nurses regarding their clinical practice.
METHODOLOGY
Qualitative escriptive exploratory study design was used for this study. Data were collected from eight students recruited through purposive sampling techniques. Individual indepth interviews were conducted. Data was transcribed verbatim and analyzed through thematic analysis.
RESULTS
The data were classified into three main themes including the student perception of the nursing profession, their perceptions about the role of a nurse, and the availability of resources for clinical learning. Further subthemes were also developed.
CONCLUSION
Different factors affect the student’s clinical learning. Lack of the required resources and guidance from faculty negatively affects student motivation and competency in skills. Therefore, it’s important to provide all the required resources and timely guidance to the students to improve their clinical learning and skills.
