Background: The flipped learning provides a learner-centered framework for assisting nursing students to apply theory into practice. Although school students presented a positive reaction in flipped learning studies, it was still not enough to explain the effectiveness of flipped learning model and practice clinical experience of nursing students.

Design: A qualitative study design was used to collect the experience of participants and a sample of 13 nursing teachers in the Northeastern Taiwan. All participants had clinical preceptor experience at least for 2 years. Data were analyzed by content analysis method by Waltz, Strickland & Lenz (2010). Results: Based on participants practical experiences in the clinical practice, the study results showed two main themes about nursing students in internship, the first theme was â�?�?Build the bridge from theory to clinical practiceâ�?, included three subthemes: Thinking process expansion; connection between classroom learning and clinical practice; and increasing the skills of writing report. The second theme was â�?�?Be a good nurseâ�?, included three sub-themes: Proactive attitude; involve themselves into clinical nursing care; and show caring behaviors.
