Objective Shortages in the speciality nursing workforce, both nationally and internationally are driving the need for the development of an evidence-based model to inform recruitment and retention into speciality nursing practice. This study aimed to identify the factors influencing rapid and early career transition into speciality nursing practice. Methods A comprehensive systematic review of the literature was undertaken using a convergent qualitative synthesis design where results from qualitative, quantitative and mixed methods studies were transformed into qualitative findings. Databases included CINAHL, Medline, Scopus and PsycINFO. Search terms were: nurse, early career, rapid career, transition, specialty, and Medical Subject Heading terms included: professional development and educational, nursing, and continuing. Using validated tools, papers were independently assessed by a minimum of two reviewers. Results Twenty-three research articles were included. There were no randomized control trials. Through thematic analysis and matrix mapping of the results, the TRANSPEC model was developed. The model outlines three phases of transition: pre-entry, incomer and insider. There has been little focus on pre-entry with programs being designed at the incomer and insider phases. Impacting on these phases are three concepts: the self (professional and personal), the transition processes (informal and formal) and a sense of belonging. The overarching theme influencing the phases and concepts is the context of practice. Enablers and inhibitors influence successful transition and therefore impact on recruitment and retention. Each nurse’s transition is influenced by time. Conclusions For successful transition, the enablers and inhibitors impacting on the three concepts, phases and the context of practice need to be considered when developing any program. It is apparent that while previous studies have focused on the transition processes, such as curricula, the development of the self and a sense of belonging are also essential to successful transition. Further studies should include the pre-entry phase.

“…Emergency nursing TSP programmes are commonly completed by RNs prior to enrolment in postgraduate study (Morphet et al 2015). In addition, many TSP programme graduates are provided with formal articulation into postgraduate university studies (Morphet et al 2015), yet inconsistencies in TSP programme characteristics and delivery mean that TSP programme graduates were not educationally or clinically prepared to the same level. In 2002, an Australian review of nursing education (Heath 2002) recommended the development of a TSP framework to improve consistency in graduate preparation.…”

Background This paper describes an evidence-based co-designed study with clinical-academic stakeholders from hospital and university settings. Hospitals and university providers in Australia invest significant but separate resources for postgraduate curricula, resulting in duplication of curricula and resources in the health and higher education sectors. Methods Using emergency nursing as an exemplar, we co-designed an industry-academic postgraduate education framework that integrated the needs and resources of the health and higher education sectors to streamline postgraduate students’ professional learning. Results Outcomes include matrices synchronising professional and regulatory imperatives of postgraduate nursing coursework; mutually-shaped curriculum content, teaching approaches and assessment strategies relevant for postgraduate education; a University-Industry Academic Integration Framework; five guiding principles of postgraduate curriculum development for university-industry curriculum co-design; and a Graduate Certificate of Emergency Nursing curriculum exemplar. Conclusion Industry-academic co-design can increase the relevance of postgraduate specialist courses in nursing, strengthening the nexus between both entities to advance learning and employability.
