TL;DR: This study evaluated the effectiveness of a 2-day, simulation-based orientation for baccalaureate nursing students preparing to begin their first clinical experience and indicated a statistically significant increase in knowledge of and confidence in skills needed when first entering the clinical setting and a decrease in anxiety following the orientation activity.

TL;DR: Results indicated that the protective academic benefits of resilience were primarily explained by decreases in depression but that this effect was strongest for nursing students with negative perceptions of their campus climate.

TL;DR: Nurse manager satisfaction and transformational leadership competency significantly improved following the implementation of large span of control mitigation strategies.

TL;DR: A positive association was found between self- and caregiver-reported physical functioning scores (impact of health problems on physical activity) and the SF-12v2 had high construct validity in this study.

TL;DR: A need for tailored screening and interventions to reduce mental health problems and harness psychological strengths unique to nursing students is suggested.
