Purpose: This study aims to describe health tourism and transcultural nursing concept from the viewpoint of nurses and to find out how they interpret them. Design and Method: As a mixed study, it was conducted at 6 private hospital with the participation of sixteen nurses. Data were collected with demographic information form, intercultural sensitivity scale and semi-structured interview form. Result: The mean of cultural sensitivity scale score of nurses was 81.39 ± 4.84. Only one nurse had transcultural nursing training. Lack of foreign language and cultural knowledge are problems for nurses while caring to foreign patients. Discussion and Conclusion: Nurses play an indispensable and key role in health tourism, but they cannot represent themselves sufficiently. Implications for Practice: The professional and personal development of nurses should increase by trainings on ethics, intercultural nursing and geography, especially foreign language.
