To explore the experiences of undergraduate nursing students about reflective journaling. A qualitative descriptive study was carried out in a private nursing college. A Convenience sample consisted of all the PRN (Latin term: pro re nata) extended first year students were selected. In depth interviews were carried out in the month of November, 2018 by the trained data collector. The three major categories emerged from data “Benefits of writing reflective journaling”, “challenges faced by the students in writing reflective journaling” and “Future implementation of the strategy”. Benefits that has been highlighted such as post-reading at the end of the session, remembrance of the content, improvement in writing skills etc. Challenges were reported as: time limitation and difficulty in writing the log. Application of this strategy in different subjects with providing feedback was recommended by the students. The reflective journaling was found to be more beneficial for undergraduate nursing students with few manageable challenges. The findings of the research will help the nursing educator to adopt reflective journaling as a teaching learning strategy in class room setting during teaching of different subjects.
