Abstract
Safety, one of the six QSEN competencies, is an important concept for prelicensure nursing students (Cronenwett et al., 2007). The perioperative environment has a strong safety focus and culture. While didactic information regarding the perioperative environment is offered within a medical/surgical course, an experiential opportunity supports increased insight. A concern is that due to limited perioperative experiences, students may not fully comprehend or recognize the safety concepts (Gropelli & Shanty, 2018; Kilduff et al., 2018). Furthermore, a limited perioperative exposure may impact students’ interest in future employment in the area. The purpose of this study was to examine student perceptions of safety concepts after a one-day perioperative shadowing experience.

Student's safety perception after a perioperative experience
