Download or read book The Lived Experience of Transitioning to a New Graduate Nurse Following a Prelicensure Hospital based Externship Experience written by and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 426 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Forty years after Kramer's (1974) seminal work, Reality Shock, new graduate nurses continue to have difficulty transitioning to the registered nurse (RN) role. The purpose of this phenomenological study explores the lived experience of new graduate nurses who completed a Veterans Affairs externship program in their senior year of nursing coursework and its perceived impact on their successful transition into the practice role 3-24 months following graduation. Benner's (1984) Novice-to-Expert Model, Karmer's (1974) Reality Shock Theory, and Selder's (1989) Life Transition Theory support a framework for this study. Twelve telephone interviews were conducted using van Manen's (1990) method for researching the lived experience. One overarching theme "feeling confident" and three main categories, "transitioning to the RN role," "making decisions," and "interacting with professionals," were identified from the data. Externship programs assist the student to comfortably and smoothly transition as a new graduate nurse by offering additional clinical and practice experiences. Given the complexity of today's health care environment, there is a growing need to better prepare the graduate nurse for their transition into nursing practice. Externship programs can serve this purpose.

Book Taking Action Against Clinician Burnout

Download or read book Taking Action Against Clinician Burnout written by National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2020-01-02 with total page 335 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Patient-centered, high-quality health care relies on the well-being, health, and safety of health care clinicians. However, alarmingly high rates of clinician burnout in the United States are detrimental to the quality of care being provided, harmful to individuals in the workforce, and costly. It is important to take a systemic approach to address burnout that focuses on the structure, organization, and culture of health care. Taking Action Against Clinician Burnout: A Systems Approach to Professional Well-Being builds upon two groundbreaking reports from the past twenty years, To Err Is Human: Building a Safer Health System and Crossing the Quality Chasm: A New Health System for the 21st Century, which both called attention to the issues around patient safety and quality of care. This report explores the extent, consequences, and contributing factors of clinician burnout and provides a framework for a systems approach to clinician burnout and professional well-being, a research agenda to advance clinician well-being, and recommendations for the field.

Book The LIVED EXPERIENCE OF NURSE PRACTITIONER GRADUATES  TRANSITION TO HOSPITAL BASED PRACTICE

Download or read book The LIVED EXPERIENCE OF NURSE PRACTITIONER GRADUATES TRANSITION TO HOSPITAL BASED PRACTICE written by Cheryl R. Duke and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 138 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this hermeneutic phenomenology (van Manen, 1990) was to gain insight into the meaning and lived experience of nurse practitioners (NP) with at least one year of work experience regarding their initial transition from new graduate to hospital-based practitioner. This study provided information regarding NP hospital-based transition experience that had not been revealed in the nursing literature. The meaning of transitioning into hospital-based practice was discovered through analysis of nurse practitioner letters and interviews in this phenomenological study. Six themes emerged from this research including: Going from expert RN to novice NP; system integration; "Don't Give Up"; Learning "On the Fly"; They Don't Understand my NP Role; and Succeeding Through Collaboration. Master's prepared, board-certified NPs in North Carolina (NC) with between one and three years of NP practice experience in a hospital setting comprised the population of interest for this study. Twelve participants were purposefully sampled from nine hospitals in NC. Individual, voice-recorded, in-depth, open-ended telephone interviews were conducted with each participant. The majority of the participants indicated a timeframe that ranged from six to 18 months regarding how long it took them to feel more comfortable in their NP role, the lack of comfort was most intense during the first nine months of practice. Participants confronted multiple obstacles and challenges as new NPs. These challenges included navigating and negotiating a new health care provider role; becoming integrated into a hospital system in what was a new role for them and sometimes for the system; learning how to function effectively as a NP while simultaneously working to re-establish themselves as proficient clinicians with a newly expanded practice scope; building key relationships; and educating physicians, hospital leaders, clinical staff, patients, and families about the NP role. This new knowledge demonstrates that although the transition to hospital-based practice for the new NP graduate is individually unique, there are important dimensions of the experience which are universal and should be considered by new NPs, employing hospitals and staff, physicians, and educators. This information can be used to help ensure an ideal transition occurs for the new hospital-based NP.

Book Phenomenological Study of the Lived Experience of New Graduate Nurses Caring for Hospitalized Patients Living with Dementia

Download or read book Phenomenological Study of the Lived Experience of New Graduate Nurses Caring for Hospitalized Patients Living with Dementia written by Geline Buenconsejo and published by . This book was released on 2022 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Title. Phenomenological Study of the Lived Experience of New Graduate Nurses Caring for Hospitalized Patients Living with Dementia. Purpose. This study explored new graduate nurses' lived experiences in caring for hospitalized patients living with dementia. Background. The first twelve months of transitioning from student to professional nurse in acute care settings are the most stressful, emotionally challenging, and mentally exhausting for new nurses striving to apply newly acquired skills into practice. Some of the most challenging patients for nurses to care for are hospitalized patients living with dementia (PtLWD). With the projected increase in the number of patients with dementia in hospitals, it is imperative to understand the challenges nurses face when providing safe and effective care to PtLWD. Methods. Using the hermeneutic phenomenology approach, as influenced by Heidegger and Gadamer, eleven new graduate nurses were recruited from a hospital in southern California. The lived experience of each participant was collected through remotely conducted semi-structured interviews and by using open-ended questions. Transcribed interviews were read and analyzed using the Braun and Clarke's (2006) linear, 6-phased method, to interpret meanings and arrive at an understanding of the essence of the participants' lived experiences. Findings. The thematic analysis yielded nine overall themes addressing two lines of inquiry. The themes discovered in the first line of inquiry included protecting patient's universal rights, ensuring patient safety and well-being, complex care delivery experience, fostering therapeutic nurse-patient relationship, nurse's positive adaptation and role transition. In the second line of inquiry, the themes included preservation of human connections, feeling inadequate and experiencing personal distress. The themes were analyzed over time and articulated into a cogent phenomenological lived experience. Implications for Research. Study findings suggest that further research is needed to establish a better onboarding process among new graduate nurses caring for hospitalized PtLWD and support the need to initiate advanced care planning as soon as the diagnosis of dementia is identified. This study contributes to the body of knowledge by providing deeper meaning and purpose, enhancing understanding of the new graduate nurses' roles, and recognizing their feeling as they provide care to hospitalized PtLWD.

Book New Graduate Nurses  Perceptions of Their Received Support in the First Year Work Transition

Download or read book New Graduate Nurses Perceptions of Their Received Support in the First Year Work Transition written by Joan S. Palladino and published by ProQuest. 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.

Download or read book The First Year written by Kay Zincus, Ph. D. and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2011-04-25 with total page 102 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: THE FIRST YEAR: Conversations with a New ICU Nurse follows a newly hired nurse through his first year of practice in a metropolitan hospital. Through nine in-depth interviews, author Kay Zincus has the new nurse describe what he does to care for acutely ill patients, work with families, cultivate effective relationships with physicians and nurses, and grapple with the inevitable ethical issues that are part of the life and death situations in intensive care situations. Frank and reflective, this book offers new and future healthcare workers —and their friends and families — a rare window of insight into the challenging transition from nursing school to real-life nursing practice. It reminds educators of the big leap students must make from nursing school to effective nursing practice. And it offers insights to consumers of healthcare about the shortage of nurses affecting many hospitals. A troubling question emerges—how will we have an adequate supply of well-trained, acute-care nurses when so many leave in their early years of practice? To my knowledge no one has ever documented a new nurse’s first year through a series of interviews from the perspective of citizen-consumer curious about this type of transition! The narratives are very compelling and rich! —University professor, nursing Wow! I have never read anything like this. It is so insightful and rings totally true to this new nurse’s experience. There is an unmet need for this information and a place for it in the nursing and education literature. — Hospital social worker I found these first-year experiences and insights compelling all the way through. It could be an invaluable teaching tool as a case study and reading for the general public interested in occupational socialization. This new nurse demonstrates deep thinking, the ability to consider ethical issues, and is intelligently reflective and articulate in his learning of the role of the nurse in these intensive care situations. — University professor, education and sociology
