Abstract
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to explore experiences of RN-BSNstudents through an RN-BSN education course. Method: Data was collected through in-depth interviews and recordings about RN-BSN students' experiences in the education system. The data was analyzed in terms of Downe-Wamboldt's(1992) content analysis methodology. Result: Ninety significant statements were found concerning their experiences and their experiences were divided into three dimensions (intra personal, inter personal, & outer personal). The analysis scheme consisted of 15 categories and 26 subcategories. Conclusion: We found participants not only advanced their careers and improved their knowledge but also grew and transformed internally. In addition, this study can suggest a framework for planning curriculum content and learning methods in an RN-BSN course. In addition, the qualitative findings of this study can help the professor to understand and guide RN-BSN students.
