- Abstract
Background: A respite program at a southeastern university was developed to provide respite services to local families of children with special needs and to integrate a hands-on clinical experience for nursing students. Method: To assess the nursing students' perceptions of participating in the respite program experience, a survey was administered to prelicensure nursing students. Results: Analysis of survey data revealed all participants were satisfied with the respite experience, perceived they will be able to apply knowledge obtained, and acknowledged opportunities to enhance soft skills. Survey results can be used to affirm positive student perceptions associated with a respite clinical learning experience. Conclusion: Valuable data describing experiences of undergraduate nursing students who participated in the respite program was obtained. This innovative learning experience meets a community need for children with special needs while providing experiential learning with diverse populations. [J Nurs Educ. 2023;62(3):180–182.]
