Development of the Nursing Practice Readiness Scale for new graduate nurses: A methodological study

Exploring work readiness: A qualitative descriptive study of self-perceptions among new graduate nurses

“…The effective response to various professional nursing needs of patients requires new nurses to possess multidimensional competencies and attributes, contributing to improved care quality and patient safety [ 19 , 42 ]. If new nurses lack relevant competencies and attributes, inadequate work readiness can negatively affect patient safety, such as increasing the incidence of adverse events and increasing the length of hospitalization of patients [ 54 ]. Therefore, there is a need to assess whether new nurses are adequately prepared for practice when they begin their independent clinical careers and to remedy their deficiencies by providing additional education and management to help them successfully acclimatize to the clinical field.…”

Quality of clinical nursing education for new graduate nurses: A concept analysis with a hybrid model

“…신규간호사는 입사 후 9∼12개월까지 응급상황 대처, 임종간호, 우선순위 정하기, 시간관리 등 주요 간호 술기 및 임상 상황 대처 에 어려움을 겪으며 [1], 독립적 환자 간호 수행을 위해서는 인지‧ 심동적, 정의적 차원에서 다방면으로 실무에 대한 충분한 준비가 필요하다 [2]. 실무에 대해 충분히 준비되지 못한 경우 전환충격을 경험하므로, 의료기관에 배치된 신규간호사의 전환충격을 완화시 키기 위해서는 임상현장에서 전환과정을 지원하는 임상간호교육 이 요구된다.…”

Lessons from a research project

“…7 Finally, my project would have benefited from the Nursing Practice Readiness Scale (NPRS) to understand an NGN's educational level and needs for additional support in transitioning from school to a work environment. 9 The NPRS includes clinical judgment and nursing performance, professional attitudes, patient-centeredness, self-regulation, and collaborative interpersonal relationships, which are important considerations for NGNs' successful transition and employment longevity. 9 ■…”

“…Transition to practice for NGNs, pre-pandemic, was known to be difficult 8. Perceived readiness—the attitudes and characteristics that aid in successful workplace adaptation—is an important aspect of NGNs9 as they account for the highest numbers of nurses entering and exiting the profession 10,11…”
