The key to successful NP transition to practice

Abstract

This article explores the experiences of the new NP's onboarding process based on data from two qualitative studies. Interviews with 27 new graduates were used to inform the design, implementation, and experience of an onboarding program in a small healthcare setting without robust internal resources or a human resource department. The key to successful NP transition to practiceTSViPhoto Ps encounter numerous challenges as they transition to clinical practice after graduation.The literature suggests that a consistent onboarding program eases the NP transition to practice and can prevent the high costs associated with organizational turnover. 1,2 The literature uses the terms of onboarding, orientation, mentoring, and postgraduate transition to practice. The term "orientation" includes introducing new employees to coworkers and human resource contacts and giving them information on performance standards, benefi ts, and facilities. "Onboarding" involves many of the same components of the other terms but typically extends 3 to 6 months. Onboarding can be a more human resources-related N

Characteristics and effectiveness of mentoring programmes for specialized and advanced practice nurses: A systematic review

“…qualitative studies (Anglin et al, 2021;Cappiello & Boardman, 2022), quality improvement projects (De Villiers et al, 2019;Moss, 2022), intervention projects (Hooge et al, 2022;Leung et al, 2012), mixed methods (Horner, 2017), reports or case studies (Bullock et al, 2022;Painter et al, 2019;Robeano et al, 2019).…”

“…• Graduates of a NP programme (n = 4) within the last 18 months who commit to practice in a rural area Other articles failed to describe how the mentoring programme had been developed (Anglin et al, 2021;Bullock et al, 2022;Cappiello & Boardman, 2022;Horner, 2017;Moss, 2022).…”

“…Horner (2017) reported several durations for their programme, going from one to 12 months and still ongoing, based on the needs of participants. One article did not report about the duration of their programme (Cappiello & Boardman, 2022). 12 weeks An expert mentor per weekly topic (no further information)…”

“…During review or debriefing sessions, the mentee and mentor discussed issues that either of them felt important to discuss. These topics ranged from clarifying information that was covered in a training session, to reviewing challenging patient cases, or guiding trainees on cognitive and interpersonal skills (these were not further specified) (Anglin et al, 2021;Barnacle et al, 2021;Bullock et al, 2022;Cappiello & Boardman, 2022;Horner, 2017). outcome: (X) = Number of times the components are integrated in the mentoring programmes.…”

“…Peer mentoring also occurred when the mentor was someone who worked in the same job as the mentee but was more experienced. (Cappiello & Boardman, 2022;De Villiers et al, 2019;Painter et al, 2019;Robeano et al, 2019).…”
