“…The relationships NGNs created with their preceptors over time allowed them to be independent. Current evidence indicates that preceptorship has a positive impact on improving nursing competence and retention ( Masso et al, 2022 ). Current research is focused on supporting practice readiness for NGNs, creating NRPs, and strategies for preceptorship.…”

et al. 2022

The COVID-19 pandemic presented challenges to onboard and support new graduate nurses (NGNs). This study sought to explore the perceptions of nurses entering clinical practice during the COVID-19 pandemic. Using mixed methods, we investigated the experiences of NGNs entering the field during the pandemic and how a nurse residency program (NRP) adapted to meet their needs. Newly graduated nurses entering practice in November 2019 described their transition through nurse experience surveys and focus group discussions. Results from the quantitative data reported on compassion satisfaction, burnout, and exposure to secondary traumatic stress. The qualitative data mirrored these findings with the discovery of the following five themes: transitioning through an NRP, impact to nursing care, value of coworkers, coping, and professional growth. These findings illustrate the need to better support future practice transitions in times of disruption and change.

“…Different styles of preceptorship programs are used in healthcare settings [ 9 ]. In the hospital where this study was conducted, the preceptorship program was established in line with preparing the workplace to better support new nurses in adapting to their new work environments [ 10 , 11 ]. In general, the preceptorship program involves the education of newly graduated nurses who enter clinical practice for the first time and orientation of experienced nurses to ensure a smooth transition to a new workplace [ 12 , 13 ].…”

Background Nurse preceptorship is a new concept emerging in the Iranian health care system. The purpose of this research was to assess preceptor nurses’ perceived benefits, rewards, support, and commitment to the role in a new nurse preceptorship program in Iran and to examine the relationships between these concepts. Methods A descriptive correlational study was employed, and using total population sampling method, 45 preceptor nurses were recruited from a tertiary referral teaching hospital in Iran. Data were collected using the Preceptor’s Perception of Benefits and Rewards Scale, the Preceptor’s Perception of Support Scale, and the Commitment to the Preceptor Role Scale. Descriptive statistics and correlational analysis were used to analyse data. Results Preceptors’ commitment to their role was positively and moderately associated with their perceived benefits and rewards (r = 0.503, p = 0.001) and perceived support (r = 0.430, p = 0.003). None of the examined demographic and practice variables showed statistically significant association with commitment to the preceptor role. Conclusions Commitment to the preceptor role was associated with benefits, rewards and support that preceptor nurses perceive in relation to their role. To optimise the effectiveness of nurse preceptorship programs, benefits, rewards, recognition, and support should be integral to planning of these programs.

“…Transition to Practice Programs are designed to assist new graduate nurses to “acculturate to their new profession” (Schwartz, 2019 , p. 45). However, most Australian Transition to Practice Programs are offered in hospitals, which is where most new graduate nurses seek employment (Masso et al, 2019 ; Schwartz, 2019 ). In contrast, few undergraduate nursing students express interest in pursuing a career in PHC (Bloomfield et al, 2018 ; Bloomfield et al, 2015 ).…”

Understanding nursing students' perceptions of the general practice environment and their priorities for employment settings

Aim To explore final year nursing students' perceptions of the general practice environment and their priorities when choosing a workplace. Design Online survey, reported following the Strengthening the Reporting of Observational Studies in Epidemiology (STROBE) guidelines. Methods The validated Profession Scale from the Scale on Community Care Perceptions (SCOPE) tool was used to identify characteristics within the general practice environment and the importance of these in choosing a workplace. To explore the factor structure, exploratory factor analysis was undertaken which was used to revise the survey language and flow before widespread dissemination. Results Three hundred and fifty‐five responses were received. Factor analysis revealed three factors: Provision of care, Employment conditions and Nature of work. Respondents exposed to general practice in the Bachelor of Nursing program or who had a general practice clinical placement had significantly different perceptions across all factors. Although wages, advancement opportunities, work pressures and the physical nature of work were perceived as important in choosing a workplace, they were seen as only moderately present in general practice.
