“…Self-care can involve quiet, thoughtful activities (Christiaens, Abegglen, & Gardner, 2010) and/or spending time outdoors or in nonwork-related social activities (Clark & Springer, 2011). Experienced nurses should remind and give new nurses permission to care for themselves.…”

This pilot study employed a qualitative description design to inquire into new registered nurses' (RNs') personal responses to being a "new nurse." Six new RNs participated in semistructured interviews. The findings of this pilot study can be used to guide educational activities for nurse leaders and others who work with new RNs. Several strategies are discussed, which may ease new RNs' transition into professional practice.

“…For example, Murphy et al [8] relate how caring is a central value in nursing practice and acquiring caring competences is a crucial component of nurse education programmes. However, Chiovitti [19] describes the concept of caring as intangible and abstract and even an invisible component of nursing practice.…”

“…However, the information obtained in the study was used to develop strategies as to how student learning could be improved. Furthermore Christiaens et al [8] conducted a study in the United States (U.S.) which examines the advice expert holistic nurses give to nursing students regarding the theory and practice of holistic nursing. Examples of the most common advice from the experts to the nursing students include the importance of person-centred care, empathy and touch.…”

Background: Respecting the uniqueness of each individual as part of person-centred approach is central to the provision of high quality nursing care. Valuing people as individuals with different needs and aspirations are attitudes to care-giving that student nurses need to develop. There is however, a scarcity of literature which focuses on assessment of student nurses' patient-centred attitudes. Aim:To examine patient-centred attitudes among pre-registration nursing students. Design:A validated survey tool developed by Rolfe was used to measure the patient centred attitudes of nursing students in a U.K. University. Methods:The patient-centred attitudes of 149 student nurses were measured using a Patient-Centred Multi-Choice Questionnaire. Standard descriptive analyses were performed.Results: Female student nurses (n=119) undertaking undergraduate pre-registration nurse education, 20-to 29-years-old and in their third year of study dominated the sample group. The mean Patient-Centred Multi-Choice Questionnaire scores for the majority of the sample groups fell within the noticeably therapeutic attitude range. Those that scored highest within the noticeably therapeutic attitude range were males, under 20-years-old, second-year students and students studying children's health. Conclusion:The relatively high levels of patient-centred attitudes which were evidenced, particularly the results from the male students, is reassuring. The conclusions drawn have implications for nurse recruitment strategies, assessment of prospective student patient-centred attitudes and the teaching, learning and assessment strategies deployed by nurse educators.

“…During the transition, GNSs desire to improve their clinical skills, increase clinical experience and get information about the practical aspects of being a RN [3,7]. The final clinical practicum aims to improve GNSs' professional skills, confidence, preparedness for nursing practice [8,9] and awareness of the responsibilities before stepping into working life [8].…”

The aim of this study was to describe anticipations of graduating nursing students of the unpredictable transition to a registered nurse. The graduation can be stressful and challenging and nursing students feel insecure about their competence and ability to start the working life. A descriptive design was used with a modulated narrative method. 16 nursing students wrote narrative essays about their anticipations of the transition. The essays were analyzed using inductive content analysis. The anticipations of the transition can be divided into three main categories: fear and stress of competence, opportunity to learn new skills and orientation to the future. The results can be utilized both in the curriculum development of nursing degree programs and in mentor training programs. The study findings support the development of transition facilitating methods to the final clinical practicum.
