Background: Person-Centred Practice (PCP) represents a global priority in healthcare, focusing on maintaining respect for individual’s life, integrity, and dignity, with strong emphasis on self-determination. It is expected that PCP will be integrated into the nursing students throughout their education, yet evidence suggests that focusing on the individual and facilitating holistic care and integrating person-centred attributes may be challenging. Aim: To explore undergraduate nursing students’ experiences with PCP during home nursing placements, aiming to inform future educational strategies and support improved student competence in PCP. Method: Qualitative individual in-depth interviews were conducted with six nursing students during home nursing placements in south-east Norway in 2024/2025, using a semi-structured interview guide. The interviews were analysed using Braun and Clark’s thematic analysis framework. Results: The nursing students experience the importance of having a holistic perspective practicing PCP. Being met with PCP as a student is significant for the development of competence in PCP. Four main themes emerged: Learning PCP, PCP between staff and students, The organization of the service impacts opportunities and challenges for PCP and Staff’s knowledge of various health services available is highly significant for PCP. Conclusion: Nursing students learn PCP in home nursing. The nurses meet the students in a person-centred manner.  The organization of health services influences healthcare personnel's ability for PCP.  Leaders and healthcare personnel should emphasize the organizational-, working- and supervision methods that facilitates PCP.
