Exploration Into How Simulation Can Effect New Graduate Transition

Transition experiences of newly graduated Filipino nurses in a resource‐scarce rural health care setting: A qualitative study

“…Nurse residency and structured orientation programs were found to be effective in facilitating the new nurse's transition to work as well as transition and mentoring programs . In recent years, many health care institutions have adopted the use of simulation to enhance the readiness of new nurses for clinical practice . Multifaceted transition programs, where two or more transition programs are provided to new nurses, were also seen to be effective in facilitating new nurse transition .…”

“…In particular, the nursing administration member plays a critical role in ensuring the smooth and positive integration of newly graduated nurses into the nursing workforce. Several organizational measures associated with successful integration into the clinical environment and fewer reality shock concerns include the presence of a healthy work environment; adequate support from senior nurses and peers, better group supervision and orientation programs, and positive workplace culture . However, despite these initiatives, successfully retaining new nurses still remains a challenge to be solved among nurse administrators …”

Developing Criteria for the Selection of Contemporary Stimulus Material in Mental Health Nursing Education: Engaging Students and Meeting Curriculum Goals - Part 1: Critical Analysis of Simulation and Stimulus Material in Mental Health Nursing Education

“…Repeating psychomotor and communication skills in various simulated environments increased student confidence and lowered anxiety levels, and student satisfaction increased as the simulated environment became closer to an authentic clinical situation (Terzioglu et al, 2016). For new graduates, simulation helped with relating theory to practice, with problem solving and with critical thinking, as well as seeing the "big picture" of patient care and actively seeking critique of their performance (Thomas & Mraz, 2017).…”

Simulation based education and expansive learning in health professional education: A discussion

“…Even with such established examples, SL is still often perceived as a relatively new pedagogy, perhaps due to the rate of change of technological advances that make today's SBE seem almost futuristic compared to traditional methods. However, in its purest sense, SL has been utilised within health professional education for many years, for example nursing students historically practised administering injections using oranges (Thomas & Mraz, 2017). Nelson (2016) describes how manikins made of straw were also used in SL approaches in health care over 100 years ago.…”

“…Reid, Ledger, Kilminster and Fuller (2015) suggest that similar issues are prevalent in the transition of medical doctors from being students to qualified working professionals. A study by Thomas and Mraz (2017) concluded that student confidence, communication skills, decision making, and reflection developed through SBE can be helpful in the transition from student to the professional role in practice. Over time, sequences of personal experiences combine to form trajectories of development.…”
