“…This suggests that students are affected by some characteristics of the patient population (age, demographic characteristics, clinical status, etc.). In a study where intensive care experiences of intern nurse students were examined, it was reported that nursing students had ambivalent feelings related to death, which is consistent with our study ( Özkaya Sağlam et al, 2021 ).…”

“…Some ethical issues, such as end-of-life and patient dignity, triggered strong feelings about death. It is described as a shocking event in the immediate and then turns into acceptance, especially for people at the very end of their lives (with Covid-19) ( Farfán-Zúñiga and Jaman-Mewes, 2021 , Özkaya Sağlam et al, 2021 ). The students effortlessly recognised the limit of care during the Covid-19 pandemic, emphasising its, sometimes crude, aspects, such as the loneliness caused by the illness and the dying ( Garrino et al, 2021 ).…”

Aim This study explored the clinical placement experiences of nursing students during the Covid-19 pandemic. Background The health emergency caused by Covid-19 required a rapid reorganisation of care settings. This reorganisation entailed revisiting the clinical placements settings and learning programs of Italian nursing faculties. Some Italian universities wanted to seize the health emergency as a learning opportunity enabling the nursing student to acquire additional knowledge and skills. Design We conducted a descriptive qualitative study employing a phenomenological approach. The study population was second and third-year nursing students. The students did their clinical placement in 5 Northern Italy hospitals, mainly in infectious diseases wards, intensive care and sub-intensive care units, emergency department, short-stay surgical units and internal medicine wards. In these departments, the inpatient wards were entirely converted into Covid-19 units. Ethical approval was obtained from the local ethics committee. Methods Semi-structured, open-ended interviews were conducted in March-April 2021 and analysed following a phenomenological approach. Results Twenty-one nursing students in their 2 nd and 3 rd academic year participated. Their average age was 24 years. 81% were female and 19% were male. Three main themes were generated: (i) Learning which surpasses technicalities; (ii) Confronting dignity issues; (iii) Feeling treated as an equal in the workspace. Students had to learn how to lower their fear and self-manage the emotional burden to be a caring presence for the patients who were intensely suffering from the disease and isolation. Attending a clinical practice placement in Covid-19 wards led them to focus on human dignity issues: participants realised how dignity was questioned and how they could become patients’ advocates. Students also described that they felt part of the team, with their student role almost fading. Conclusions This study describes that the most unpredictable public health emergency, such as Covid-19, can provide learning opportunities in the practice environment for nursing students. Students described feeling useful and capitalising on new competencies. Designing educational activities for nursing students concerning pandemic emergencies may be strategic for dealing with similar situations in the future.

“…The second attitudinal barrier was lack of confidence in the matter. Echoing previous findings, 3 the inadequacy of vital knowledge and skills has been blamed. The unpreparedness of communication strategies with patients 5 , 10 , 12 further deteriorates the efficiency.…”

“…Diverse resources, including intern nursing students who conduct clinical internship training in hospitals as required for their undergraduate degree, 3 have then been mobilized to take on important responsibilities such as caring for cancer patients and communicating with patients’ family members. Internship training enables nursing students to minimize the theory–practice gap, help them gain professional identities and competencies, and be ready for future employment.…”
