“…This kind of practice should make it possible to diffuse knowledge through the body and translate it into physical action. (Estrada, GuanHing, & Maravilla, 2015;C.-N. Tseng, Hsieh, Chen, & Lou, 2013) Furthermore , the clinical learning aspect of nursing education has long been considered as a key component which allows the nursing student to apply all of his theoretical knowledge in a clinical setting, to practice their skills, to increase their knowledge and to develop their professional identity (Kirkpatrick, Byrne, Martin, & Roth, 1991;Peyrovi, Yadavar-Nikravesh, Oskouie, & Berterö, 2005;Wills, 1997) Over the last few years, the nursing community has turned to a more research-grounded clinical practice (Baxter, 2007;Dadgaran, Parvizy, & Peyrovi, 2013;Estrada et al, 2015;Thomson, 1998), this however could not hide the ever so growing rift between nursing theory and nursing practice which has been highlighted by several studies over the years (Estrada et al, 2015;Gallagher, 2004;Khairulnissa & Salima, 2011;Landers, 2000)The goal of most nursing teaching programs especially that of the Tunisian nursing facilities is to supposedly use the complementarity between theory and practice in 3 years teaching program to form a well-balanced nurse (Higher institute of nursing science of Tunis, 2008) But it has also been made clear through servals studies that new nurse graduates find it at times extremely difficult to apply the theoretical concepts acquired during theirs initial nursing bachelor degree education (Estrada et al, 2015;Khairulnissa & Salima, 2011;Wolff, Pesut, & Regan, 2010)Nursing students are often faced with the dilemma of the contradiction they find between the theoretical courses and lessons they receive in class and the application of that knowledge in the hospital setting (Le Helloco-Moy, 2011). This fact is reflected in the difficulties of assimilation of the knowledge taught and the skills transmitted to the students (Westin, Sundler, & Berglund, 2015) This phenomenon is aggravated by the fact that in some countries like the Philippines, nursing graduates can immediately apply for and pass the nursing licensure examination and enter the clinical practice as licensed nurses within weeks after graduation (Estrada et al, 2015).…”
