Abstract: Background: Effective clinical training is crucial for nursing students' success so in order to gain the appropriate qualifications for providing patient care, they should use their knowledge and abilities in clinical settings. Purpose: Identify clinical training factors that hinder or facilitate nursing students' learning and its effect on their clinical performance. Methods: Design: A descriptive correlation research design was used in this study. Setting: Conducted in two nursing secondary schools: Menouf Secondary Nursing School and sers-Ellain Secondary Nursing School. Sampling: A consecutive sample of 184 nursing students were included. Instruments: Two instruments were used for data collection: Nursing students'opinion regarding facilitating and hindering factors for learning during clinical training questionnaire and clinical performance observational checklist. Result: It was revealed that more than two thirds of study sample perceived clinical training factors as facilitating factors, while approximately one third of study sample did not perceive clinical training factors as facilitating factors. More than one quarter (29.9 – 27.7) of nursing students showed a very good to good performance level. While, more than one fifth of nursing students (21.7) showed an excellent performance level. Conclusion: There was a highly positive correlation between clinical training facilitating factors and nursing students' clinical performance. Recommendation: collaboration between hospital staff and nursing school staff to facilitate nurse students' induction to real work world. Apply workshop for nursing teachers about how to overcome clinical training hindering factors.
