Purpose:
The purpose of this study is to explore the perspectives of international nursing students in Turkey on their learning experience.
Design And Methods:
Qualitative semi-structured individual interviews and focus group interviews were used to explore nursing students' perspectives on their learning experiences in Turkey. The research population comprised 10 international students.
Results:
The students expressed fear of being rejected by patients in a clinical setting, as well as feelings of isolation and discrimination. They feel foreign and experience the typical prejudice against their color and language.
Practice Implications:
Educators should take language and cultural differences into consideration and should listen to international students regarding education methods. Teachers of international students, both academic and clinical, need to be cognizant of the "otherness" of international students.
