Background: Clinical practice is a fundamental activity for the development of skills and the application of acquired knowledge and is essential for the training of qualified professionals. The first in-hospital clinical practice in nursing students allows them to live experiences and powerful emotions emanating from the first contact with a patient and his environment. The student, supported by a guiding tutor, provides nursing care. This context provides great educational richness. Objective: To explore the experiences and emotions of second year nursing students of the Universidad Finis Terrae, in their first in-hospital clinical practice. Materials and Methods: The research design is qualitative. The methodology used is Husserl's descriptive phenomenology. The method of data collection will be through the application of qualitative semi-structured interviews on an individual basis. The data analysis uses Colaizzi's method. Results: eight students between 19 and 21 years old, whose first clinical practice was in four hospital centers, were interviewed. The significant experiences and emotions analyzed were grouped into five categories: value of contact with hospitalized patients, emotions during clinical practice, value of clinical practice as a whole, practice produces vocation, and importance of clinical mentoring. Discussion and Conclusion: The first clinical practice produces in the students several significant experiences and associated emotions that impact their learning and vocational sense.
