ABSTRACT:   This study aimed to explore the learning experiences of the student nurses during their periods of the clinical practice. A survey method was employed with a questionnaire administered to all the final year student nurses of the two nursing universities in Myanmar. The design of the questionnaire was developed through a review and inclusion of key issues from the literature and interviews of ten experienced lecturers and tutors.There were 272 final year student nurses in both universities. All respondents answered that their theoretical training helped their routine clinical practice. The majority of the students (65.8%) felt that they did not have enough time for clinical practice. Some 75.4% experienced with many students in one ward and 57.3% did not have opportunities to talk and discuss with the supervisor. About 65% of the students also experienced the difference between theoretical learning and clinical practice. Most of the students (75.4%) felt that they did not have opportunities to try out each clinical skills, but 57.7% had opportunities to ask questions when they did not understand. About 96% ofthe student nurses had theopportunities to share the experiences and skills gained from the clinical teaching among the group members. In addition, the student nurses emphasized some influenzing factors for learning in clinical practice. Clinical teachers as well as academic staffmay reflect on these findings. They could plan to increase integration between theory and practice, and promote and reinforce both formal and informal support and supervision to the students to improve the current skills teaching of nursing practice in Myanmar.
