“This study aimed to describe how nursing students' expectations are achieved in their
first clinical internship, as part of a longitudinal qualitative study conducted in a public
nursing school in Barcelona, Spain. Data in the current phase were collected in 2019
from students (n = 15) after completing an internship for the first time, recruited with
purposive sampling until data saturation was reached in semi-structured interviews,
and thematic analysis was performed on the interview content. Positive factors that
had a powerful influence on students included the accessibility at the internship location and the experience with the clinical instructor, when these provided assessment
and integration of the student in the health team. Practical learning is mediated by
chance in terms of the center, service, teacher, and clinical instructor assigned. It is
crucial to establish consensual measures among all the actors involved to facilitate
the efficacy of teaching and learning.“
