description Objective: The aim of this study was to analyze nursing students’ learning experiences the nursing process in laboratory and clinical practice.Methods: The study design was a descriptive qualitative approach. The population of the study consisted of 450 students studying at the faculty of nursing. Data were collected by using the focus group interview from 30 students. Focus group interviews were conducted between between 01-20 September 2018. The data were analyzed by using thematic analysis. The transcription and analysis of the data were done by the researchers and no analysis program was used.Results: Three themes were emerged: 1) Nursing process as clinical and professional guide 2) Step by step permanent learning 3) Mentoring need. Although the students understand the importance of the nursing process, they encountered difficulties during the learning related to the educator’s attitude, learning opportunity, and lack of professional competency level.Conclusion: In this study, for the nursing student, the nursing process is a successful method in developing a holistic perspective to students; however, there are important obstacles in its implementation. It is recommended that nursing process teaching should be carried out mainly in clinical practice under the guidance of the educators at the bedside.
