In the nursing education which has a curriculum that includes theoretical and practical training, it is aimed for students to gain experience, learn clinical processes and reach an independent service level. Students tend to keep the experiences they have learned during the practical training in their professional lives. Thus, in this study, students are asked to evaluate ethically the problems they have encountered during hospital practical training, their attitudes towards these problems and the cases.The study was a cross-sectional study consisting of 64 students, 40 female students and 24 male students registered in the nursing department internship program. The data were collected in the last week of the semester with a questionnaire developed by the researcher. In the questionnaire form, students were questioned about the problems they encountered during the practice and their attitudes towards these problems. Percentage, mean, standard deviation, chisquare test were used in the statistical analysis of the data. 54.7% of the students think that they have problems during practical training and 37.1% of those who have problems think that they are having problems because they are students. Problems with internal units were found to be higher (73.9%). The percentages of the students for the problems related to communication, nursing and treatment, and cleaning are 31.3%, 37.5% and 10.9%, respectively. Given the attitudes of the students, they stated that they kept calm for the communication problem, they accommodated themselves to the problems related to the nursing and treatment, and they made contact with a contact person for the cleaning problems. They pointed out the wrong drug administration to a patient as a first ethical problem with a ratio of 50%. Consequently, it is important for students to have problems during practices in order to learn accurately during the clinical practices which are effective for the students to exhibit the desired behaviors
