BACKGROUND
Globally, enrolled nurses (ENs) are embarking on an educational journey to become registered nurses (RNs) in order to enhance their knowledge and career opportunities. However, their aspiration is not without challenges. In Namibia, the experiences of these nurses have not been extensively researched.
OBJECTIVES
This study aims to explore and describe the experiences and challenges of ENs undertaking a Bachelor of Nursing Science at the University of Namibia.
METHOD
A qualitative, exploratory, descriptive and contextual research strategy was followed as the basis of conducting the study. A sample of 15 nursing students was purposively selected from the target population of 73 nursing students. This sample size was determined by the saturation of data as reflected in repeating themes. The collected data were analysed thematically using an inductive approach.
RESULTS
Three main themes subsequently emerged from the study: ENs' positive experiences advancing in the Bachelor of Nursing Science (BNSc) programme; nurses' negative experiences advancing in the BNSc programme; and recommendations to ensure effective advancement in the BNSc programmeConclusion: The findings of this study revealed that ENs positively experience becoming a RN when it comes to self-development; however, they have negative experiences such as not receiving exemptions for prior learning and having to learn a new curriculum.Contribution: These findings may be used by the Faculty of Health Sciences, School of Nursing and Public Health management in order to develop targeted interventions and ongoing strategies during their curriculum review cycles to ensure positive student experiences and success within the programme.
背景
在全球范围内，注册护士（ENs）正在接受教育，以成为注册护士（RNs），以提高他们的知识和职业机会。然而，他们的愿望并非没有挑战。在纳米比亚，这些护士的经历并没有得到广泛的研究。
目的
本研究旨在探讨和描述在纳米比亚大学攻读护理科学学士的 ENs 的经验和挑战。
方法
研究采用定性、探索性、描述性和背景研究策略作为基础。从 73 名护理学生的目标人群中，通过目的性抽样选择了 15 名护理学生作为样本。这个样本量是根据数据的饱和度确定的，反映了重复出现的主题。通过使用归纳方法对收集到的数据进行了主题分析。
结果
研究中出现了三个主要主题：ENs 在护理科学学士（BNSc）课程中取得进步的积极经验；护士在 BNSc 课程中取得进步的负面经验；以及确保在 BNSc 课程中有效进步的建议。
结论
这项研究的结果表明，ENs 在自我发展方面积极体验成为 RN；然而，他们也有一些负面的经历，例如没有获得先前学习的豁免，并且必须学习新的课程。
贡献
这些发现可被健康科学学院、护理学院和公共卫生管理学院用来制定有针对性的干预措施和持续战略，以确保课程审查周期内学生的积极体验和成功。
