Abstract: Objective To explore the students’ experiences of caring of older people during their clinical practice. Methods Ten students who have finished their clinical practice were interviewed. The data were analyzed using Colaizzi’s seven stage framework. Results Three main themes were identified and they were “positive inter-action","invisible geriatric nursing",and "moral distress". Conclusion Undergraduate nursing students could not see the "real" nursing during their clinical placement and experience moral distress. Schools and hospitals should work together to improve the acknowledgement of nursing students towards aging and increase their abilities of caring of the older people.
