This study aims to elucidate the level of achievement and the challenges in a basic nursing practicum for second-year nursing students through the association method. Analysis revealed various descriptions of learning through the practicum training experiences in terms of understanding the healthcare environment, planning and implementing daily life assistance, and involvement in building a supportive relationship with a care recipient. In this sense, we can assume that the goal of the practicum was achieved. The studentsʼ attitude toward learning showed an emphasis on knowledge, basics, reasoning, and acquisition of knowledge through experience. At the same time, however, we did not observe descriptions of developing the healthcare environment, understanding the methods of developing healthcare plans, or respect for privacy, thus not indicating whether the goal was achieved. In the future, it is necessary to additionally examine specific details of studentsʼ learning through analyzing their reports.
