lthough nursing programs strive to develop holistic admissions processes, evaluating applicants based on grades and test scores as well as in-person interviews, this process may not always be logistically or financially reasonable. Nursing programs can use virtual interviews to enhance diversity within their programs while maintaining the integrity of the admissions process. Although in-person, holistic interviewing allows for measurement of critical thinking, communication skills, and ethical integrity, virtual interviewing is becoming popular among organizations and universities, as it is less expensive, is more convenient, and can reach broader audiences. 1 In March 2020, student services for colleges and universities in the United States transitioned to a virtual environment because of rising concerns regarding the COVID-19 pandemic. This decision impacted the admission interviewing plans for many nursing programs. Before this directive, the College of Nursing (CON) of a large, public research university in the southeast region of the United States was preparing for approximately 400 in-person interviews for the upcoming baccalaureate program cohorts.

Background: Promoting civility in nursing education can be accomplished with civility teams, assessing perceptions of civility and developing initiatives to address areas needing improvement. Problem: There is a lack of information about the effectiveness of civility teams in nursing education, leading to uncertainty on how to develop and assess civility teams. Approach: This article discusses how 1 school of nursing implemented a civility team and used the Clark Healthy Work Environment Inventory to assess the impact of the team. Outcomes: The civility team used the inventory responses from 110 team members to establish civility action items. One year later, the inventory was repeated, and the responses from 122 team members were used to evaluate the impact of the civility action items. Conclusion:This program evaluation indicates an effective way for nursing programs to develop civility initiatives using a validated assessment tool to create and evaluate civility action items.
