Undergraduate nursing education is pivotal, yet it presents numerous challenges, particularly during crises like the COVID-19 pandemic. This study was conducted to develop a collaborative program between hospitals and educational institutions to enhance the professional preparation of nursing students. This investigation employed qualitative methods and semi-structured interviews with 12 nursing students from a Guangxi hospital. Analysis via Colaizzi's method revealed four primary themes: knowledge and skill requisites, stressors within the clinical environment, emotional responses, and self-adaptation processes. The findings underscore the necessity for heightened attention to the experiences and stressors of nursing students. Drawing on Roy’s Adaptation Model and Neuman’s Systems Model, the research proposes an integrated approach to nursing education that encompasses curriculum development, practical training, mentorship, and administrative support. Enhancements in these areas are posited to strengthen students’ knowledge, resilience, and professional identity, thereby fostering the advancement of nursing practice and education. Keywords: clinical competency, collaborative programs, nursing education, pandemic response, professional development, Stress and coping
