N1  - Undergraduate Theses (BSN) - Nursing; Includes bibliographical references
N2  - The COVID-19 pandemic has imposed unprecedented challenges on nursing  education, significantly affecting clinical training experiences. This phenomenological  study explores the lived experiences of level IV nursing students at Camarines Sur  Polytechnic Colleges amidst the pandemic. Through qualitative interviews and thematic  analysis, the research aims to uncover the nuanced perspectives, coping mechanisms, and  transformative learning processes within the context of constrained clinical placements. By  elucidating the intricacies of students' experiences, this study contributes to understanding  the broader implications of the pandemic on nursing education and offers insights into  enhancing support mechanisms and educational strategies for nursing students facing  similar challenges.  This study wants to explore possible techniques and interventions that help improve  their emotional resilience and general mental health and contribute to the improvement of  nursing education programs by fostering not just competent but also emotionally resilient  healthcare workers who are better prepared to offer compassionate and effective patient  care. The study utilized a phenomenological type of research approach as the design of the  study with semi-structured interview guide and mechanical recording as the main  instrument to gather data. 10 student nurses from BSN level 4 were purposely chosen to  take part in the qualitative investigation .The participants responded to the questions  verbally and recorded them. Further, this study explores the strategies employed by  Camarines Sur Polytechnic Colleges and clinical facilities to adapt to the evolving demands  of nursing education during the pandemic. It examined the effectiveness of virtual  simulations, and alternative clinical placements in providing students with meaningful  learning opportunities while ensuring their safety. Furthermore, the role of mentorship,  peer support, and institutional policies in promoting resilience and professional growth  among student nurses is investigated. Through a comprehensive analysis of these factors,  this research aimed to offer practical recommendations for optimizing clinical education  delivery in the context of ongoing public health challenges
