Nursing students at all levels often face unique challenges when entering the clinical setting. For instance, prelicensure students may arrive with overconfidence, assuming their classroom success has fully prepared them for practice. Meanwhile, already licensed nurses returning to school may struggle to adapt, relying heavily on familiar workplace habits rather than embracing current best practices. Additionally, students from either group might grapple with self-doubt and a lack of confidence. All these students can benefit greatly from strategies designed to foster a growth mindset, enabling them to embrace learning, adaptability, and professional growth.
