Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the experiences of nursing college students who are now pursuing a bachelor degree of nursing at a three year nursing school. Method: The study employs a Qualitative research method. For this study 19 nursing students of a reformed nursing college were interviewed. All of them are now taking the fourth-year classes. Results: The experiences of the interviewees are categorized into the following five themes: 1) Education reform news that could make the bachelor degree happen; 2) Relaxed but uncomfortably long winter break; 3) Looking forward to the fourth year of nursing education; 4) Facing the fourth year and possible double classes; and 5) Unregrettable choice. The study found that the students are putting their best effort forward for the fourth-year classes in a hope that the bachelor degree could rebuild their self-esteem and self-identity as a full-member of the nursing profession. They also hope that the existing societal prejudice and differential treatments toward them will disappear in future nursing practices. Conclusion: This study concludes with some practical implications for nursing education for reformed nursing schools.
