This may be because of limited incorporation of EBP learning opportunities outside of foundational course-work.METHODFamily nurse practitioner (FNP) program faculty incorporated EBP learning activities across the three-semester clinical year curriculum, and the activities scaffolded in complexity. Initial activities included appraisal and application of clinical practice guidelines to patient case scenarios. Later, students used the seven steps of EBP to present frequently asked patient questions and EBP clinical challenges in their clinical rotations to their peers.RESULTSThis innovative way to thread EBP across the clinical year allowed faculty to continue to evaluate and guide students toward EBP competency.CONCLUSIONThe integration of EBP learning activities across the clinical year is a feasible strategy to further expand FNP student competency in EBP.

The Power of NursingTM (PON), a transformative course focusing on shared experiences, permits the exploration of classroom connectedness from a unique interpersonal perspective where teachers and students meet as equals. The purpose of this study is to measure senior-level nursing students' perceived connectedness following a 5-week PON program.METHODUndergraduate senior-level nursing students' perceived connectedness was measured using the Connected Classroom Climate Inventory. Additionally, a qualitative thematic analysis was applied to responses post-course.RESULTSResults indicated a significant difference in students' perceived connectedness scores, while thematic analysis supported this finding with key themes of generous nonjudgmental listening, vulnerability, sharing experiences, and a want for connection enhancing meaningful learning.CONCLUSIONThe PON provides an excellent platform for cultivating connections with peers and mentors. Students can effectively utilize the insight gained from this course to form and build meaningful connections with their future patients.
