The purpose of this study was to explore and describe the experiences of and challenges faced by pupil enrolled nurses and midwives, tutors and registered nurses regarding clinical nursing education. The study then aims to formulate guidelines on clinical nursing education to be used by registered nurses and tutors for the education and training of pupil enrolled nurses and midwives. The study was conducted at Keetmanshoop Hospital and Regional Health Training Centre in the south of Namibia, Windhoek Central and Katutura State hospitals, the National Health Training Centre (NHTC) in Windhoek, Otjiwarongo Hospital and Regional Health Training Centre, Rundu Hospital and Regional Health Training Centre in the north east and Oshakati Hospital and Regional Health Training Centre in the north-west of the country
