Abstract
The journey from language classroom to clinical setting is a process that goes beyond the notions of language proficiency; these nurses are constructing new cultural and professional identities. Bridging the gap between preparation and practice involves making complex linguistic, cultural and social choices, often unsupported. Understanding their experience will better inform approaches to preparation and facilitate their adaptation and integration.
