Best practice warrants the best results which should be a requirement in today’s health care. Evidence-based practice (EBP) is important in healthcare because it ensures that the best practice is the focus for the care that is being delivered. In the academic area it is necessary to educate nursing students about the importance of delivering the best care possible, which will improve all of outcomes. Effective care can be encouraged by coaching students in a Nursing Clinical Skill Boot Camp, which can increase student nurses’ confidence and decrease anxiety. The primary aim of this capstone project was to develop a system change. This system change would be used to improve overall care that the students give in the clinical area during their preceptorship phase of the nursing program, by increasing the nursing students’ confidence and decreasing the nursing students’ anxiety.
