Background: To enrich students' clinical learning experience and facilitate their ability to meet the baccalaureate outcomes, students rotate through a faculty-developed nursing wellness clinic. This unique setting was thought to promote knowledge synthesis of the Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) curriculum, yet it had not been formally evaluated. Method: A qualitative study was designed to examine the experiences of senior BSN students who rotated through the wellness clinic setting. Focus groups were held for students who volunteered to participate. Results: Analysis identified three themes: Competence and Confidence Issues, Rewards and Frustrations of Delivering Care in the Community, and Using What We Know. Conclusion: Findings indicate that nursing wellness clinics can provide a rich learning experience and enable students to synthesize the BSN and liberal arts curriculum in order to deliver care. The study is limited due to the small sample size. Future research on the effectiveness of this clinical placement is warranted. [ J Nurs Educ . 2020; 59(1):26–29.]
