“…Specific areas in need of improvement identified in this study are consistent with those in prior studies: complex or advanced skills, prioritization, organization, managing a caseload of patients, and critical thinking, including problem solving and clinical decision making (Kenward & Zhong, 2006;Li & Kenward, 2006;Nelson et al, 2007). The academic preparation of nurses is in need of reform; graduates are not being adequately prepared for the realities of today's practice.…”

Preparing nursing graduates for entry into practice is a priority for academic and healthcare institutions. To effectively prepare competent entry-level practitioners, it is important to understand clinical agency expectations. Most clinical agencies utilize some form of a precepted orientation experience for new graduate nurses. The purpose of this study was to examine preceptors' perceptions of the competence of new graduate nurses. Data analysis indicated several areas of weakness in new graduate nurses' clinical skills. This information can be used by academic nursing programs to revise clinical experiences to better prepare graduates for entry into practice. Findings can also be utilized to assist healthcare institutions with designing orientation programs for new graduate nurses. Suggestions are provided to help train preceptors for their important role. It is essential, particularly in today's complex healthcare environment, that strategies be explored to facilitate success of the emerging nursing workforce.

“…However, the adoption of prioritisation strategies to complete technical interventions first particularly influenced this aspect. It was clear that some NGRNs readily slipped into a CURE modeldoing what is deemed critical, urgent, routine and “extra”, in that order (Nelson et al., ). For some, attending to technology and medications was paramount and communication was relegated as an extra, whereas the authors argue that these “extras” are central to concerns of families, patients and to participants’ sense of professionalism.…”

A well-developed professional identity enhances nursing as a profession, contributing towards better healthcare delivery and outcomes. It is critically important how professional values are learnt within the culture of nursing. Tensions in clinical practice need to be understood better to avoid moral distress caused by dissonance between expectation and experience. It is advantageous to increase early positive socialisation.

Patient needs and practice conditions demand that clinical nurses in acute care hospitals engage in a unique professional practice role-care and management of clinical situations for multiple patients, simultaneously. Nurse Residency Programs (NRPs) facilitate the integration of newly licensed registered nurses (NLRNs) into this professional practice role through competency development in seven management areas. Purpose of this study was to identify effective components and strategies of NRPs in each area. A sample of 907 nurses in 20 Magnet hospitals with NRPs operative for at least 3 years participated in individual or small group interviews and 82 participant observations. All interviews were digitally recorded, transcribed, and analyzed thematically. Effective strategies were identified for all but one of the seven management areas. Suggestions for improvement in NRPs to better meet NLRN professional socialization needs, patient outcomes, and challenges of the health care system today are offered.
