    BackgroundGeneration Z nursing students born after 1995 have been described as true digital natives with a short attention span and tendencies toward boredom. The purpose of this pilot study is to compare readiness for practice and anxiety and self-confidence during decision making between Generation Z students who completed a 4-week immersive clinical and those in a 14-week immersive clinical.MethodA convenience sample (n = 46) of Generation Z graduating baccalaureate nursing students was surveyed.ResultsIndependent samples t tests were conducted, with no statistical differences between groups on any measures.ConclusionFindings suggest that extended periods of time in an immersive clinical do not influence readiness to practice or anxiety and self-confidence during decision making in the next generation of students.
