The nursing education sector has felt the impact of the shortage of nursing clinical instructors (CI) or faculty members. This phenomenon became more profound with the pandemic experience along with the global shortage of nurses in the hospitals. The study was conducted to explore the lived experiences on learning among undergraduate nursing students in a higher education institution amidst the nursing faculty shortage. The study was undertaken using a descriptive phenomenological design with seven informants, using Colaizzi's approach for data analysis. The findings of the study generated three main themes: disruptions in the learning process and platforms, responses to learning disruptions, and learners' call to action. It uncovered substantial disruptions in scheduled lectures, activities, and clinical rotations due to the nursing faculty shortage. The findings underscore the critical need for immediate and comprehensive measures to address the nursing faculty shortage. Despite compensatory efforts by the institution, the impact on learning experience remains significant. This study calls for prompt and effective strategies to rectify the nursing faculty shortage, ensuring optimal learning experiences for student nurses.
护理教育领域已经感受到了护理临床教师（CI）或教员短缺的影响。随着疫情的影响以及医院全球护士短缺情况的加剧，这一现象变得更加严重。本研究旨在探讨在护理师资短缺的情况下，高等教育机构中本科护理专业学生的学习体验。该研究采用描述性现象学设计，有七位受访者，并使用科莱齐的方法进行数据分析。研究结果产生了三个主要主题：学习过程和平台的中断、对学习中断的应对以及学习者的行动呼吁。研究发现，由于护理师资短缺，预定的讲座、活动和临床实习受到了严重干扰。研究结果强调了立即采取全面措施解决护理师资短缺问题的迫切需求。尽管该机构做出了补偿性努力，但对学习体验的影响仍然很大。本研究呼吁迅速采取有效策略来纠正护理师资短缺问题，确保学生护士获得最佳学习体验。
