Abstract
The use of standardized skill pass-offs or skills check-offs and the ability to critically think are vital in the development of confident and competent nurses. At a university in the Intermountain West, basic psychomotor skill training begins the first semester of the associate nursing program and is typically done through the use of demonstration and return demonstration. This qualitative cross-sectional survey was conducted to identify the nursing students’ perception of the relationship between a skill pass-off and their confidence in the clinical setting. Twenty-five students completed a four question survey related to skill pass-off and student confidence. The results of this study indicated that while skill pass-offs did provide students with repetition and knowledge of the supplies needed to complete the skill, the feeling of confidence did not occur until the student practiced in the clinical environment. The outcome of this study emphasizes the importance of students’ experiences in the clinical setting.
