Methods:
A survey gathered data regarding levels of preparation and confidence, learning barriers, placement stressors and personal reflections.
Findings:
Nursing students reported positive and transformative experiences of intercultural learning.
Conclusions:
Cultural immersion programs provide a valuable framework for the design and evaluation of clinical placement programs for nursing students within intercultural learning spaces.
