ABSTRACT This study explores the educational experiences of international nursing students in Türkiye from the perspectives of nurse educators. Conducted with 12 academic nurse educators reached from all regions of Türkiye, the qualitative research used semi‐structured in‐depth interviews collected between September and November 2024. The data were analysed through content analysis in MAXQDA and reported in accordance with the COREQ checklist. Four key themes emerged: (1) challenges related to the teaching process, (2) problems affecting the educational process, (3) positive experiences, and (4) solutions and recommendations. Major challenges included language barriers, communication and adaptation difficulties, and time management issues, alongside academic, advisory, socio‐economic, and environmental factors. Educators also highlighted positive aspects such as mutual communication and language development, encouragement of international experience, positive attitudes, and intercultural understanding. The study underscores the need to strengthen language support, orientation and mentoring, and institutional strategies to enhance international students' adaptation and learning outcomes.
