Salon gatherings featuring conversations about current themes in a profession are evolving with time and practice to meet the needs of modern nurses and their clinical partners. Nursing clinical educators at a Midwestern pediatric hospital system offered a nursing salon experience as a new component of education days to provide an opportunity for clinical staff to engage in content and conversations about practice in a setting away from direct patient care. The objective of the nursing salons was to engage in professional reflection. Staff members of a professional development center and a department of quality and safety collaborated to provide this experience for over 500 nurses, clinical support associates, and leaders, to enhance clinical education days.
