Abstract
This study aims to identify and understand nurses' experience on patient safety accidents in general hospital. The qualitative research method was used to analyze the daily life of seven nurses who had experienced nursing safety accidents directly or indirectly in general hospitals. The nurses' experiences were divided into 7 categories and 24 subordinate properties and 7 categories were "unexpected experience", "missing caused by negligence", "facing the anxiety", "difficult of loneliness", "resignation from the hospital", "entering into conflict" and "being practiced a nurse". The results of this study will contribute to the establishment of policies for safety accidents in hospitals and also it will help to make a practical improvement plan to prevent the patient safety accident at the clinical site.
