Background Promoting academic integrity is an essential role of nurse educators. This scoping review examined best practices for orienting undergraduate nursing students on academic integrity policies. Methods: CINAHL Plus, ERIC, and Academic Search Premier databases were searched for studies published in English since 2013. In addition, reference lists of included studies were hand-searched for supplementary articles. Included studies focused on academic integrity policy orientation practices in higher education. Results Data from 10 included studies are presented in this review. Few studies on academic policy orientation practices specific to nursing ( n = 1) exist. Most of the studies ( n = 8) focused on higher education practices with no specific discipline focus. Conclusion Future research should focus on academic integrity policy orientation in nursing education. Nurse educators can implement generalizable recommendations from current literature. Recommendations include promoting a positive environment of academic integrity and faculty-led policy orientation practices. [ J Nurs Educ . 2025;64(1):40–43.]
