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 Fostering Role Transition written by Slone Cynthia Dragoo and published by LAP Lambert Academic Publishing. This book was released on 2015-11-10 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As graduation approaches, baccalaureate nursing students begin to see their professional goal becoming a reality. But does receiving the graduation certificate and passing board exams really make role transition from student to practitioner possible? A US college utilized nursing clinical elective courses to bridge the gap between the student role and the professional role. A phenomenological, qualitative study was conducted to ascertain the graduate's lived experiences following graduation and to evaluate the perception of the graduate's transition into nursing practice. Participants in this study found that skill repetition, prioritization practice, exposure to death-dying experiences and networking with nurses prepared the undergraduate student for role transition into emergency nursing. By interacting with nurse role models, the student nurse developed an increased sense of proficiency and confidence prior to graduation that allowed the graduate nurse to smoothly transition into their professional role. This research provides a model to guide nursing educators in designing curricula that prepares graduates who can more effectively transition into their first nursing role.

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 Expert Clinician to Novice Nurse Educator written by Jeanne Merkle Sorrell, PhD, FAAN, RN and published by Springer Publishing Company. This book was released on 2015-08-24 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Research shows that the sharing of personal, first-hand stories not only enhances learning and eases the transition to a new role, but also helps novice educators to understand that their challenges are shared by others. With the goal of improving the experience of nurses transitioning from clinician to educator, in hospitals as well as schools of nursing, this unique book presents the stories of nurses who made this transition. It presents the findings of several qualitative studies addressing the question, ìWhat is the lived experience of clinicians as they assume new roles as clinical nurse educators?î These narratives describe the challenges they faced and transformations in each nurseís identity and relationships during the transition process. The text includes recommendations from the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching and specific problem-solving strategies that have worked for others. The narratives are from nurse clinicians, nurse educators, and students who provide insights into such common dilemmas faced by novice educators as ìHow do I keep a patient safe while allowing the student nurse to practice a skill for the first time?î ìIf a student is slow to catch on to a procedure, how long do I wait before they fail?î ìHow do I help provide a safe and effective learning environment for new graduate nurses?î The book includes stories of students who describe caring and uncaring experiences with clinical nurse educators. Stories address cultural diversity, bullying, and dilemmas related to critical and ethical thinking. Nurse educators themselves share insights into what they wish they had done differently to guide students and new graduate nurses in their learning. While these storytellers had diverse clinical and educational backgrounds, there were consistent similarities between the experiences they described. One common thread was the need to embrace the role of a novice in order to succeed. The book will serve as a valuable text for graduate students in nurse educator courses as well as students and nurses seeking support, insight, and inspiration in their transition to the clinical nurse educator role. Key Features: Presents experiential narratives from nurses who made the transition from clinician to educator Describes important aspects of a nurseís transition from the role of clinical expert to that of novice educator Includes research-based insights in a highly accessible style and format Integrates National League for Nursing Core Competencies into the text Provides inspiring, helpful, and comforting guidance for nurse clinicians feeling lost or confused in a new role
