Abstract
Results demonstrated positive correlations between students' use of social networking to their personal and group resilience (PÂ <Â .05). Moreover, social media use, religion, and clinical placement characteristics were related to resilience and to the perceived helpfulness of the communication course (PÂ <Â .01). Students' satisfaction with their clinical placement was based primarily on the clinical instructors' personal and professional skills. In conclusion, social networking can and should be used as a learning tool to promote resilience among nursing students. Faculty and nurse managers should be aware of the central role of the clinical instructor and initiate collaborative and supporting initiatives.
