Abstract
Nursing students often express the lack of confidence when conducting mental status examination in the clinical setting. With the use of standardized patients, this has significantly increased students' confidence level before their clinical attachment. Qualitative feedback also showed a positive outlook in augmenting didactic learning into practical skills.
