Background: Evidence indicates that many nursing students exhibit signs of burnout and consider leaving nursing during nursing school. However, there is scant literature on the extent of this problem or mitigating factors.
Method: Undergraduate nursing students ( = 129) participated in a correlational study examining patterns of burnout and Psychological Capital (PsyCap), a four-pronged construct that captures hope, efficacy, resilience, and optimism. Burnout and PsyCap were measured using the Maslach Burnout Survey (MBI-GS) and the PsyCap Questionnaire (PCQ-24). Burn-out prevalence was calculated. Correlations were assessed using MBI-GS subscales and the PCQ-24. Bivariate regressions were used to assess the effects of PsyCap on burnout dimensions.
Results: High levels of exhaustion were identified, with 38.8% of the participants scoring in the overex-tended range, the first stage of burnout. Moderate PsyCap levels were found to be protective against burnout.
Conclusion: Strategies to increase PsyCap in nursing students may enhance well-being and reduce dropout. .

Background: Graduate nursing students often face challenges in team-based projects due to diverse backgrounds and learning styles. Team charter development is helpful for making expectations clear, but it misses a critical step of self-reflection and shared understanding that can further improve team functioning.
Method: This innovation integrated a communication needs reflection exercise, based on the Birkman Method, into team charter meetings in a graduate-level course.
Background: Objective structured clinical examinations (OSCEs) are an important part of the graduate nursing curriculum at The Ohio State University, including in the psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner (PMHNP) program. Despite positive feedback from the OSCE assignments, students often reported experiencing anxiety before the assignments. In 2023, the PMHNP faculty implemented a pre-OSCE practice assignment designed for students to review an initial psychiatric evaluation by interviewing a peer.

Background: The Professional Identity in Nursing Initiative began in 2018 to explore how concepts and language regarding professional identity formation could positively affect nursing education, practice, and regulation. In 2023, faculty from two nursing schools used the International Society for Professional Identity in Nursing (ISPIN) definitions and domains to incorporate professional identity in nursing language in a template for a nursing student handbook.
Method: Faculty evaluated the professional identity in nursing model and replaced the framework for professionalism in the school of nursing's handbook.
Background: Healthcare professionals face numerous challenges regarding the delivery of care. Creating solutions to these challenges is imperative to improve the quality and safety of care to positively impact patient outcomes. However, health professional students rarely receive formal training regarding systems thinking during didactic components of their professional training.
