Society of Pediatric Nurses' pre-licensure core competencies model, second edition
Since 1986, the American Association of Colleges of Nursing (AACN) has published the Essentials, a series of documents that outline competencies that reflect minimal expectations for entry into practice as a nursing generalist (American Association of Colleges of Nursing, 2021). The framework, which defines quality in nursing education, lacks, however, specificity to nursing practice specialties. In 2017, the Society of Pediatric Nurses (SPN) convened a task force composed of pediatric nursing experts whose purpose was to develop a document that identified pre-licensure nursing competencies specific to the practice of pedi...

A New Look at Resilience in Nursing Students: Stress, Social Media, and Student Athletes
This study examined levels of resilience and identified related factors in prelicensure nursing students. Data were collected via an online survey that included a descriptive questionnaire with resilience and stress scales. Significant findings include negative relationships between resilience and stress, and resilience and social media use; positive relationships between stress and social media use, specifically TikTok use; and high resilience levels in student athletes. Specific implications for nursing education and future research are discussed.PMID:38588465 | DOI:10.1097/01.NEP.0000000000001260 (Source: Nursing Education Perspectives)

Limitations of the Medical Specialty Preference Inventory (MSPI) for Radiation Oncology
The Medical Specialty Preference Inventory (MSPI), offered through the Association of American Medical Colleges Careers in Medicine website, is a widely utilized tool to aid medical students in career decision-making. Students who complete the MSPI are asked to rate 150 items on a 7-point Likert-type scale in terms of their desirability to the respondent as part of their future medical practice. The generated output of the MSPI gives a percent-probability that the student will enter each of 19 evaluated specialties that participate in the main residency match.
