Abstract
|
|
|
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to describe overseas clinical practicum experiences among South Korean nursing students.
Methods: Data were collected through in-depth interviews with 12 nursing students in South Korea. Colaizzi’s phenomenological method was used for data analysis.
Results: Eleven theme clusters and four categories were generated. The four categories consisted of ‘trustworthy safety management system’, ‘environment where one can demonstrate nursing competency’, ‘pride and satisfaction as a professional’, ‘crystallizing one’s dream toward becoming a nurse’.
Conclusion: These results will contribute to developing strategies for South Korean nursing students in successfully completing their overseas clinical practicum.
