This study aimed to explore the lived experiences of nursing transfer students during their first year in nursing school and to emphasize the need for a targeted support system within nursing programs. Methods: in-depth interviews with 15 nursing transfer students were analyzed using Colaizzi's method to identify key adaptation challenges and coping strategies. Results: Four key themes emerged: (1) second-chance pursuit under anxiety, (2) navigating ambiguous uncertainty, (3) standing alienated at the community periphery, and (4) reshaping: embracing professional identification. The themes explain transfer students' challenges when adapting to nursing education. Conclusions: This study provides valuable insights into the unique experience of nursing transfer students. The findings highlight the importance of structured support systems, mentorship, academic advice, and personalized learning pathways to facilitate a positive transition. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: research tables/charts Journal Article ougenre: Article language: English refInfo: holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
