This study examined the effects of reeducation of core basic nursing skills on competence, confidence and anxiety in nursing students. We collected the data from 176 2nd grade nursing students. Reeducation of core basic nursing skills was conducted from December 20th to 23rd, 2016. Data were analyzed by SPSS 21.0 program. As the result of reeducation, significant improvement was found in competence(t=-11.57, p<.001), confidence(t=-10.21, p<.001) and considerable decrease was recognized in anxiety(t=-4.76, p<.001). In conclusion, reeducation of core basic nursing skills can help students to improve their overall competence and confidence, and also to reduce their anxieties as they start their first clinical practice. Therefore we suggest that more systematic and continual reeducation of core basic nursing skills should be applied to each grade of nursing students who are facing their clinical practice in hospital

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of a peer evaluation method on the core fundamental nursing skills competency, learning attitude, critical thinking and self-leadership of graduating nursing students. A survey using a questionnaire was administered to 326 nursing students. The data was analyzed using SAS(ver. 9.8) and AMOS(ver.20.0) The results of peer evaluation showed that the fundamental nursing skills competency was 3.77(${\pm}.62$), the learning attitude was 3.17(${\pm}.47$), critical thinking was 3.44(${\pm}.41$) and self-leadership was 3.60(${\pm}.49$). Core fundamental nursing skills competency showed statistical differences based on gender, major satisfaction, practice satisfaction, pre-learning and satisfaction with the peer evaluation. Core fundamental nursing skills competency was positively correlated with learning attitude(r=.295, p<.001), critical thinking was positively correlated with core fundamental nursing skills competency(r=.384, p<.001) and learning attitude(r=.623, p<.001), and finally, self-leadership was positively correlated with core fundamental nursing skills competency(r=.353, p<.001), learning attitude(r=.529, p<.001) and critical thinking(r=.690, p<.001). The factors affecting fundamental nursing skills competency were critical thinking and self-leadership. Core fundamental practical education programs to improve learning attitude, critical thinking and self-leadership need to be developed to increase core fundamental nursing skills.
