Registered nurses are primarily obtained from recently graduated university who has successfully finished a three years of education in the bachelor of nursing. New graduates student nurse are very significant to the healthcare sector. The transition from new graduate to registered nurse is challenging which requires support from the entire medical team. The aim of this paper is to explore the transition from student nurse to registered nurse. The paper will focus on the theme skills transition into practice
program, graduate nurses are able to sit for the National Council Licensure Exam for registered nurses (NCLEX-RN©) (Rosseter, 2013). The NCLEX-RN© test for “ minimum technical competency for safe entry into basic nursing practice” (Rosseter, 2013, p. 1). The examination does not test for difference in graduate nurses, nursing programs, skill acquisition, expert knowledge, or performance over time. Therefore, the passing of the licensure examination does not validate that all entry-level nurses are equally
Transition from Student to Nurse A number of emotions were felt during this experience, in regards to transitioning from a student nurse to the registered nurse role. Primarily, the transition in role from student nurse to registered nurse was similar to any clinical experience I have had at Midlands Technical College. I was placed in a medical-surgical rotation. I felt slighted that not only were we required to complete a data tool but we also participated in the teamwork model demonstrated in
Introduction When most experienced registered nurses hear the word shock, they begin to use their critical thinking skills to determine the patient’s immediate need. However, new graduate nurses in the career field are faced with a different type of shock; they are faced with transitional shock. Transitional shock is a theory created by Judy Duchscher. Her theory is based on reality shock which is a term coined by Marlene Kramer. Reality shock is when new nurses recognize clinical practice and the classroom
the student nurse graduate transition influences the importance as it will become their desire to continue practising as a registered nurse (Cleary et al. 2011, 2013). Even though the nursing degree’s clinical practice is a compulsory element of the undergraduate nursing program, it cannot be experienced from a registered nurse perspective, until nursing students have transitioned to a registered nurse. This imposes a change in roles and different expectations which causes concerns for student nurse
shortage of doctors, nurses, and midwives. As a result, this calls for demand maximization for more new graduate nurses along with the requirement for employers to retain their hospital 's workforce. Although, personal adjustment towards the role transition is very critical and complex, and it requires personal development and interactions with organizational and socialization processes along with role requirements. However, there are a great proportion of new graduate nurses who change or leave
successfully. Students get the opportunity to learn diverse experiences by interacting with the agents, and this facilitates professional development. New graduate nurses have high turnover rates due to the gap in theory and practice and reality shock. Professional socialization decreases the tension and encourages adaptation during the transition period. The paper provides a summary of Feng and Tsai (2012) study, identifies the challenges I will face socializing into my new role (registered nurse) and strategies
literature review in order to obtain a comprehensive and accurate answer to the question “Do nurses who have transitioned from enrolled nurse to registered nurse perform more confidently in their first year out of university, compared to students graduating with no prior clinical/professional experience?” To research this topic, a broad search using the term “Enrolled nurses transitioning into Registered nurses” was performed on the Scopus electronic database. The articles returned with this search strategy
as a registered nurse. Over the last three years as a student nurse on clinical placement, every shift I was supervised and overlooked by a registered nurse at all times. As well as being provided a diverse range of advice and techniques to use when applying my nursing practice. As a nursing student it gave me room for minor errors, as I always had someone to correct it and demonstrate efficient practice. Yet knowing next year I will have to carry the responsibilities of a nurse independently puts
Nursing students must surpass most of the key challenges that they may encounter in able to be successful nurses. Nurses should possess qualities related to caring because being efficient and good in theoretical studies may not be enough. Upon finishing the course, majority of the newly graduate nurse apply in a healthcare facility wherein there is a period of time in which a nurse who is starting in a new job is tested to see if that person is able to do the job properly.
