BACKGROUND: The abundant knowledge on nursing students' competencies in clinical safety, and the multiple approaches adopted make it difficult to obtain an overview of the current status of this question. PURPOSE: To review the literature on undergraduate nursing students' safety competencies during their clinical placements. METHOD: A scoping review was carried out. Searches were executed in PubMed, CINAHL, WOS, MEDES, and websites of relevant organizations. The framework proposed by the Joanna Briggs Institute was adopted. FINDINGS: A total of 43 studies were selected for the final sample. The review identified four major topics: the presence of adverse events in clinical placements, the acquisition of competencies in clinical safety, student experiences regarding clinical safety, and pedagogical approaches for clinical safety. DISCUSSION: Nursing students encounter adverse events and clinical safety incidents throughout their clinical training. Faculties should assign the highest priority to this question, due to its importance in the creation of a culture of safety.
