Canadian nurse leaders have called for academic and practice organizations to address ongoing issues in undergraduate nursing education and the new graduate nurse transition to the nursing role in the practice setting. The purpose of this study was to explore Canadian nurse leaders’ perspectives of the potential value of academic-practice organization partnerships in facilitating a positive transition experience for Canadian new graduate nurses. An exploratory qualitative descriptive approach was employed using semi-structured interviews and conventional content analysis. Nurse leader participants reported value in academic and practice organizations communicating and collaborating to address matters contributing to the new graduate nurse transition to the practice setting. Implications for practice, education, policy and research are explored.

Reports that new nurse graduates are not sufficiently prepared to enter the workforce are of concern to educators, employers, and other stakeholders. Often, this lack of 'practice readiness' is defined in relation to an inability to 'hit the ground running' and is attributed to a 'gap' between theory and practice and the nature of current work environments. To gain a deeper understanding of the process of making the transition from student to graduate nurse, discussion groups were held across Alberta with 14 new graduates and 133 staff nurses, employers, and educators. Five additional new graduates and 34 staff nurses, employers, and educators provided input by fax or e-mail. The findings of this initiative speak to the need to examine assumptions underlying 'practice readiness' and what constitutes an effective transition to the workplace. The problems to be addressed are complex and a wide range of sustainable, evidence-based approaches are required to resolve them.

Emotional Transition

Background and PurposePatients admitted to intensive care units (ICUs) are critically ill and suffer from life-threatening sickness of injury. To work in ICU, registered nurses require additional knowledge and skills. While practices regarding the hire of new graduate nurses (NGNs) into settings such as the ICU vary, it is common that NGNs are being hired. However, NGNs in general, are at a higher risk for turnover within the profession as compared to their more experienced colleagues. NGNs in ICU settings may be at higher risk of turnover due to the complexity of the care context. It is of particular importance that the experiences of NGNs in ICU be explored with the intent of identifying what these nurses experience but also to consider how they can be best supported during a period of transition. This manuscript reports the findings from a mixed design study that sought to understand the transition of a cohort of NGNs over a period of 2 years.MethodsThis study used both a purposive and convenience sample of NGNs. The qualitative component incorporated Thorne's (2016) interpretive description. Face-to-faceinterviews were completed.ResultsFive themes were identified: an emotional transition, a social transition, a transitioning mindset, transitioning through firsts, and transitioning with confidence. Within each theme, there is a distinct difference and elements of transition were evident. Findings demonstrate that the NGNs appeared to be more confident in their skills and in their nursing practice over time. Findings from this study provide important insight into the experiences of NGNs in ICUs.
