Abstract

This article describes a quality improvement project that studied students' perceptions about how writing affirmations on an online discussion board helped them transition into the first semester of an RN-to-BSN online program. Analysis of students' responses revealed themes (Transition to a New Group, Enhanced Critical Thinking, and Focus on Client-Centered Care) that aligned with holistic nursing practice and nursing role development.

Keywords: affirmations; nursing students; online learning; psychosocial.
