Factors That Influence a New Graduate Nurse’s Transition into Practice
Factors That Influence a New Graduate Nurse’s Transition into Practice. A narrative literature review, will be conducted; this review is a formally written paper, following the APA Manual (6th ed.). Edith Cowan University APA referencing guide https://ecu.au.libguides.com/c.php?g=410550
Why is conducting a formally written literature review important for BSN prepared nurses?
- Nurses’ are required to possess excellent problem-solving skills to provide quality-nursing care. In addition, nurses must be able to use both logical and critical reasoning skills to coordinate and manage their patient’s nursing care. This required knowledge goes well beyond the day-to-day tasks.
- Because nurses need to practice evidence-based care, they naturally are consumers of research. Nurses need to be able to compare and contrast, critically analyze and finally, synthesize study findings as presented in the literature.
- BSN prepared nurses can go on to post-graduate education, and must be prepared adequately to do so, regardless if they wish to obtain a post-graduate degree or not.
Based on these facts, the major assignment in this unit is to conduct a literature review on a topic that is relevant to the transitioning nurse.
Narrative Literature Review Topic
The transition of a new graduate nurse into the nursing profession can be influenced by many factors such as preceptorship, confidence, resiliency, transition programs, bullying, culture and work environment to name but a few. These factors can influence a positive or negative transitioning experience and/or health outcome for the nurse, consumer (patients, families, caregivers) and/or organization (hospital, colleagues, multi-disciplinary team).
Discuss the factors that may influence a new graduate nurse’s transition into the nursing profession from an international perspective. Discuss how new graduate nurses’ may be affected by these factors as they transition into their new role and what initiatives/programs are being used to facilitate a positive transitioning experience. Consider how these factors may affect patient, patient family members/visitors, nursing colleagues and superiors, members of the interdisciplinary team health, service provision and the organization. Discuss specific settings where new graduate programs are evident or absent, what these programs entail and the benefits, deficits and limitations of such programs from an international lens
