| Sumario: | • Incivility in higher education, particularly nursing education, is a widespread issue causing distress and impacting students' psychological well-being, necessitating an official reporting and support system. • This study highlights the moderate incivility of nursing educators in education, emphasizing the need to address its consequences and implement strategies for promoting civility. • This study highlights the importance of fostering a culture of civility among nursing educators to prevent incivility, promote professional behavior, and ensure a zero-tolerance approach in nursing education. Incivility, including that of nursing educators, is well documented in Western culture. Few recent international studies were conducted about nursing educators' incivility in nursing education. Research on nursing educators' incivility in nursing education is lacking in many developing countries. This study examined Jordanian nursing students' reporting their nursing educators' incivility in nursing education and their differences based on the sample's demographics. A cross-sectional quantitative approach was employed to gather data through an online survey, drawing upon a convenience sample comprising 115 nursing students enrolled across various governmental and private universities. Nursing educators' incivility in nursing education and its frequency were moderate. The highest-ranked nursing educators' incivility behavior reported by nursing students was "unfair grading." The highest-ranked reported "often" nursing educators' incivility in the past 12 months was "being unavailable outside of class." No statistically significant difference between the grouped median of nursing educators' incivility in nursing education. The nursing educators' level of civility was moderate. The best strategy to promote nursing educators' civility in nursing education was "role-mode professionalism and civility." The nursing students had a positive sense of their nursing educators' civility. Nursing educators are critical in fostering civil behavior among their nursing students and avoiding the growing tendency of uncivil behavior in nursing academic settings. Thus, nursing educators should not act uncivilly under any circumstances.
