This study aimed to determine the strengths and weaknesses of transition support programs for newly registered nurses.<br \/>\nDesign: A qualitative descriptive design using face-to-face interviews was chosen. Theme extraction was used to analyse the data and quotes from the interviews were chosen to illustrate and support the themes.<br \/>\nSetting: The study was carried out in seven hospitals in area health services in and around Sydney, representing both small and large facilities with bed numbers ranging from 195 to 530.<br \/>\nSubjects: Nine newly graduated registered nurses and 13 experienced registered nurses participated in the study.<br \/>\nMain outcome measures: This was an evaluative study designed to gather data about established transition support programs for newly graduated nurses working in New South Wales.<br \/>\nResults: Three themes arose from the analysis; Programs operate in a clinical environment which results in unsupportive behaviour toward new graduate nurses; Nurse unit managers influence the experiences of new graduate nurses in their workplace; and, Transition support programs are provided to redress the perceived inadequacy of university preparation for registered nurses.<br \/>\nConclusions: The support afforded and the experience gained by the new graduates was an obvious strength of the programs. Weaknesses of the programs included the times when new graduates worked without support and the unrealistically high expectation of what can reasonably be expected of newly registered nurses.<\/p>\n<h2>Authors<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Jennifer Evans<\/li>\n<li>Elaine Boxer<\/li>\n<li>Shukri Sanber<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Keywords<\/h2>\n<p>nurse education, new graduate nurses, transition support programs, socialisation, evaluation<\/p>\n<h2>References<\/h2>\n<p>References not available for this article.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This article was originally published as: The strengths and weaknesses of transitional support programs for newly registered nurses Original Article&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":21,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[124],"tags":[737,5094,4556,4546,5095],"class_list":["post-7749","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-articles","tag-evaluation","tag-new-graduate-nurses","tag-nurse-education","tag-socialisation","tag-transition-support-programs","wpcat-124-id"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.8 -
