Background: Dweck's growth mindset model, as a cognitive psychology model, details how various individuals perceive intelligence and academic ability. The growth mindset model has demonstrated academic success in students across many disciplines for more than 30 years.

Problem: The growth mindset model has not been examined in prelicensure nursing education.

Approach: This article introduces the growth mindset model, highlights differences and implications on learning between the 2 mindsets, and offers suggestions to cultivate the growth mindset model in nursing education.

Conclusions: Given the scholastic merits attributed to the growth mindset model, a closer investigation into the potential integration of the model into nursing education may be warranted.
