The latest edition of the Australian Journal of Advanced Nursing (now free online) includes an interesting article by Jennifer Evans, et al, entitled "The strengths and weaknesses of transitional support programs for newly registered nurses."
The researchers were concerned that the experiences of new graduate nurses moving from university to the workplace had not changed in the years since nurse training moved to the tertiary sector. They conducted their research in seven hospitals in and around Sydney and found that current transitional support programs had weaknesses in that there were times when the nurses worked without support and that there were often unrealistic expectations placed on the performance capabilities of these new graduates.
