While sense of belonging is essential for human motivation, impaired belonging among nurses can impact the care and safety of patients. This article reports the development and psychometric testing of the Sense of Belonging in Nursing School (SBNS) scale to assess nursing students' sense of belonging in three different environments: Clinical, classroom, and among the student cohort. Principal component exploratory factor analysis with varimax rotation was used to determine the construct validity on the 36-item SBNS scale with a sample of 110 undergraduate nursing students.

Escape rooms in nursing education: An integrative review of their use, outcomes, and barriers to implementation.

Objectives: Escape rooms are becoming a popular teaching method in a variety of fields and settings, but have not been examined for their effectiveness in nursing education. The aim of this integrative review was to map trends in escape rooms in nursing research and evaluate support for using this innovative, simulation-based teaching method.

Design, Data Sources, And Review Methods: Using Whittemore and Kanfl's framework, this integrative review analyzed the use of simulation-based escape rooms in nursing and nursing education.

Utilizing Telehealth Modalities for Veteran Nursing Students' Primary Health Care Clinical Experiences During the COVID-19 Pandemic.

Clinical experiences are critical for undergraduate nursing students to apply didactic learning experiences and meet the core competencies established for licensure. However, the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic severely limited access to clinical experiences for undergraduate nursing students. The VA Home Telehealth program provided unique clinical experiences for veteran undergraduate nursing students, increased the use of technology, and limited the adverse effects of the pandemic in a rural, vulnerable population.

Cross-sectional study of the relationship between experiences of incivility from staff nurses and undergraduate nursing students' sense of belonging to the nursing profession.

Aim: This study examined the frequency of incivility for undergraduate nursing students and the relationship between staff nurse incivility and nursing students' sense of belonging. Factors between program semester and students' body mass index (BMI) to staff nurse incivility and students' sense of belonging were assessed.

Background: Sense of belonging enhances belonging development to the profession.

Challenges of Preparing Nursing Students for Practice: The Faculty Perspective.

Background: A significant challenge facing nursing is new graduate RNs' unreadiness for practice. To better understand the issue, this study presents the challenges nursing faculty encounter in preparing nursing students for clinical practice through semi-structured interviews.

Method: Eight faculty from a private midwestern university's prelicensure Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) program participated in the study.

Incivility through the continuum of nursing: A concept analysis.

Aim: The aim of this study is to explore the gap between incivility in the workplace and academia and develop a connection to the psychosocial distress effects on the victims.
