The data were collected with “Student Information Form” and “Metaphor Perception for the First Clinical Experience Form” as online. Results: In this study, 117 metaphors related to students’ first clinical practice experiences were gathered under 8 categories, namely living, feeling, new experience, object, place, food and drink, activity, and surreal being. The metaphors used by the highest number of students were “toddler”, “just starting school”, “fish out of water”.
