This book was released on 2009 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to investigate the transition experience of new graduate nurses during their first work experience after graduating from a baccalaureate undergraduate nursing program. A case study approach was used to examine a community hospital in Connecticut. A random sample of baccalaureate prepared new graduate nurses who graduated in May 2007, and were in the first year of working as registered nurses, was chosen. The research question examined how new graduate nurses perceived the supports provided within their transition experience. The study examined the supports through Benner's (1982) developmental theory of nursing. The four supports included: support during orientation, support from experienced nurses, supports to develop time management skills and support from their undergraduate nursing education. The four research questions addressed each of these supports. The study used three methods of data collection. Twelve new graduate nurses completed the quantitative survey, eight participated in the individual interview and four new graduate nurses participated in the focus group interview. The conclusions included the following: new graduate nurses were supported by the learning environment of the orientation; new graduate nurses perceived a supportive network was available to them within the hospital environment; time management skills are essential for the transition to entry nursing practice; new graduate nurses were assisted by their undergraduate school experiences during the transition period. Recommendations for practice have implications for making new graduates successful in a nursing career. Hospital orientations should provide preceptors who encourage autonomy and are consistent and provide emotional support and need to provide support in the transition period by mentoring and encouraging guidance from experienced nurses. Hospitals also need to provide clinician guidance and organizational resources to assist with time management, and offer intern programs to students prior to graduation. Undergraduate nursing programs should incorporate more clinical time to help the new graduate nurse transition into nursing practice. Recommendations for further research might involve a qualitative in-depth study regarding time management as well as an in depth case study examining new graduate nurses perceived level of support during the orientation period.

This book was released on 2022-04-29 with total page 390 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite significant demand for healthcare professionals in the workforce, admission to health professional graduate programs is highly competitive with less than half of all medical school applicants gaining admission annually. The application process is nuanced, complex, and costly, which can often be a significant barrier to otherwise highly qualified students, particularly those from backgrounds underrepresented in the healthcare workforce. Further understanding of the best practices in navigating the application processes, academia, and professional development is crucial for those advising pre-health students. The Handbook of Research on Advising and Developing the Pre-Health Professional Student considers current practices and research regarding academic and extracurricular preparation of undergraduate students who wish to enter health professions and offers new pre-health professional advisors as well as more seasoned advisors and other administrators a resource to assist them in their professional journey. Covering a range of topics such as advisor relationships and lifelong learning skills, this major reference work is ideal for advisors, healthcare professionals, academicians, researchers, practitioners, scholars, instructors, and students.
Download or read book Role Transition Courses in Nursing Education written by Hannah M. Carlson and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 67 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Novice nurse graduates face a high amount of work related stress from the transition of the academic setting to the workplace (Ferguson & Day, 2007). The decisions new nurses make may affect high turnover rate within the first year of practice (Bowles & Candela, 2005). Roy's Adaptation Model emphasizes that decisions are either adaptive or ineffective; ineffective decisions may lead to greater stress (Johnson & Webber, 2005). Leaving nursing is critical due to the nursing shortage, aging nurse population, and high cost of hospital orientation (Rosseter, 2008). Lack of knowledge exists regarding BSN programs on new nurse retention. Role transition courses are intended to prepare student nurses for their role as a registered nurse. This study is designed to examine role transition education of one nursing program. Implications may lead to new education for nursing students and increase novice nurse retention (Evans, Boxer, and Sanber, 2008).
Download or read book The Academic Impact of Prerequisite Coursework for Second Degree Students in an Accelerated Graduate Entry Prespecialty in Nursing Program written by Philip R. Martinez (Jr) and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is a lack of available literature on the correlations between completion of prerequisite courses and second degree student success in accelerated Graduate Entry Prespecialty in Nursing (GEPN) programs. There is also little uniformity among GEPN programs on specific prerequisite requirements. Therefore, the goal of this study was to identify the impact of prerequisite courses and other preadmission variables on student success in a GEPN program. A retrospective, descriptive, correlational design was guided by the adult and transformational learning theories. A strong positive correlation (r = 0.90) was found between students’ grade point average (GPA) in the pre-licensure year and in the overall program. The number of prerequisite courses taken identified a weak association with success. Further analyses revealed that taking anatomy & physiology, microbiology, or chemistry significantly increased student GPA in both the pre-licensure year and overall GEPN program, although the actual improvement in GPA was negligible. Furthermore, statistics or human growth and development did not significantly improve student GPA. There was also little to no correlation between a student’s undergraduate degree, undergraduate GPA, or Graduate Record Examinations (GRE) scores and success in the GEPN program. Finally, this study revealed that students who completed a graduate degree had a significantly lower GPA than students who did not. The lack of strong correlations between the number of prerequisite courses taken and other preadmission variables indicates a need for further examination to better quantify which requirements are necessary for second degree nursing students’ success.
Download or read book The Future of Nursing written by Institute of Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2011-02-08 with total page 700 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Future of Nursing explores how nurses' roles, responsibilities, and education should change significantly to meet the increased demand for care that will be created by health care reform and to advance improvements in America's increasingly complex health system. At more than 3 million in number, nurses make up the single largest segment of the health care work force. They also spend the greatest amount of time in delivering patient care as a profession. Nurses therefore have valuable insights and unique abilities to contribute as partners with other health care professionals in improving the quality and safety of care as envisioned in the Affordable Care Act (ACA) enacted this year. Nurses should be fully engaged with other health professionals and assume leadership roles in redesigning care in the United States. To ensure its members are well-prepared, the profession should institute residency training for nurses, increase the percentage of nurses who attain a bachelor's degree to 80 percent by 2020, and double the number who pursue doctorates. Furthermore, regulatory and institutional obstacles-including limits on nurses' scope of practice-should be removed so that the health system can reap the full benefit of nurses' training, skills, and knowledge in patient care. In this book, the Institute of Medicine makes recommendations for an action-oriented blueprint for the future of nursing.
Download or read book Facilitating Transition to Practice for Millennial New Graduate Nurses written by Tiffani Marie Wise and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 80 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite the growing nursing shortage and the dire need for a full nursing workforce, attrition rates among new graduate nurses (NGNs) continues to be of concern. One answer to the nursing shortage includes the next generation of nursing graduates: millennials. It is vital that nursing administrators and educators collaborate to develop a transition-to-practice process that meets the unique needs of millennial NGNs to increase job satisfaction, thereby increasing intent to stay in the profession. The MSPM was implemented in an NGN medical-surgical residency as a means of maintaining job satisfaction, perceptions of support, and intent to stay, among NGNs. A mixed-methods study evaluated the perceptions of NGNs throughout their preceptorship experience in the nurse residency program. Over a 3-month period, participants completed an anonymous survey and participated in focus groups. Study results indicated the preceptorship is an influential factor in the successful transition to practice of NGNs; however, it does not have a major impact on job satisfaction, perceptions of support, and intent to stay. Focus groups and survey results supported the literature by revealing important implications for consideration in supporting and retaining the millennial nurse workforce.
