Abstract
Abstract: Foreign students face difficulties in nursing education, where theoretical and practical education processes are applied simultaneously. As to clinical education processes, which have an important place in nursing education, foreign students’ experience communication problems with patients, nurses, and peers, and this brings along adaptation problems. In this study, it was aimed to determine the experiences of foreign nursing students in the undergraduate education process. The research was carried out according to the case study, which is one of the qualitative research methods. Ten foreign nursing students were included in the study. Data were collected with a socio-demographic information form and a semi-structured focus group interview form. Five main themes were determined in nursing foreign students' experiences with nursing education: (1)being a nursing student, (2)feeling, (3)reason for preference, (4) being a minority in a country, and (5)solution suggestions. In line with the results from our study, it is thought that ensuring the continuity of Turkish courses throughout undergraduate education, a clearer explanation of theoretical courses, enrichment of courses with different teaching methods, and increasing the use of visual materials will be beneficial for their success and adaptation in order to minimize the language barrier of the students.
