IntroductionClinical nurses nowadays are expected to give nursing care services of high quality which can be achieved through nursing competency (Langley, & Brown, 2010). Thus, nursing students should be taught and guided on how to become competent in their work. The main goal of this work is to investigate about experiences of nursing students in the clinical practice.Exemplary 1: Theory-Practice GapI have discovered that what we are been taught in the classroom is a more different experience from the instructions that we have been given in the nursing practice. I have studied many theories in class but come in practice, many of them you cannot do. You can only feel this when you were faced with a clinical situation but you cannot relate it with what you learned in class; that is when you can understand about this gap.The reflective measures to reduce this gap is through reflection by nursing theorists on the realismof clinical life. Again,practice theory development can be exercised whereby theory established from practice is enhanced. Whatever is being taught in theory done practically and through this the gap shall be closed as time goes.These gaps are endorsed to some factors like many people don’t have the motivation on becoming medical training teachers and another thing is lack of funds to modernize our nursing programmes (Barnett et al., 2008). These are some of the key issues that are making this gap not to close and furthermore making it wider than it was there before.

Exemplary 2: Clinical AnxietyIt mostly happens to many students when getting into real situations of health care and attending to real patients. Many become nervous and anxious in the initial time about giving patients incorrect information.Another thing that causes students anxiety during this time of clinical placement is fear of patient harming as they say that they don’t have that much knowledge to attend the patient while still in year two in college.Fear to fail and to make mistakes regarding nursing processes is another thing that causes anxiety during clinical placement (Wald et al., 2012). This makes one nervous even though you know the process very well but because it’s the first time you find yourself anxious.In our hospitals there are many incidents that create anxiety for students, the ward is the paramount place to acquire the best and important information but unfortunately, many wards don’t meet students’ needs while learning. Evaluation on how they relate tostaff, first experience with real patients are other incidences that make students anxious.If the students can be taken on a regular basis to clinics for learning before placement, itcan help them come over this anxiety and fear.
