This study describes the perceived difficulties of student nurses at various clinical areas in the hospital. Qualitative research design was employed and doodling was used as a strategy for this study. Twenty-three participants were recruited through purposive sampling and applying the principle of Lebenswelt and Spatiality. The doodles revealed five themes upon description of illustration by student nurses, namely: Difficulties in Transcribing Doctor's Order; Difficulties in Medication Preparation and Computation; Difficulties on Staff Nurses, Significant Others and Uncooperative Clients; Difficulties in Specific Nursing Care Procedures; and Difficulties with their Respective Clinical Instructors. Most students desire to learn and they communicated that reaching the mastery level expected of them takes time and practice. Moreover, certain factors hinder learning as reported by the respondents in this study.
