Clinical placement is the setting of the physical environment and personnel teaching for healthcare workers, including nurses and nursing students. A clinical placement offers hands-on learning opportunities that can enhance your understanding of healthcare practices and procedures. Moreover, clinical placement could also provide networking opportunities and connections with healthcare professionals, which could help build their professional network.

Data were collected through a valid and reliable tool that was self-administered. Results: The study results show that. 12.9% of participants had a low level of satisfaction regarding their clinical placement, 51.6.% had a moderate level, and 35.5% had a high level of satisfaction. There was no significant difference between the satisfaction of nursing students toward their clinical placement with their academic year p-value (.193).
