Abstract
Background: Traditional clinical education does not prepare future nurses well for practice. Clinical immersion models are recommended to enhance critical thinking, clini-cal judgment, and confidence with nursing roles and skills. This study explored the effects of implementing an inno-vative clinical immersion model on readiness for nursing practice for accelerated Bachelor of Science in nursing stu-dents. Method:The Casey-Fink readiness for practice survey was used to determine graduate students' confidence and comfort with nursing roles and skills based on descriptive statistics for each survey question. Results: Study results indicated students who experienced the clinical immersion model had high levels of confidence with nursing roles and felt prepared for practice. Conclusion: Nursing programs should consider implementing clinical immersion models in undergraduate nursing education programs. [J Nurs Educ. 2023;62(1):47-50.]
