Are Graduate Nurses Satisfied with Graduate Nurse Programs?Reeves, Julie, res.cand@acu.edu.au January 2007 (has links)
The transition from student nurse to Registered Nurse Grade 1 is a difficult journey for many graduates. New graduates experience issues related to reality shock, socialisation, confidence and the theory practice gap. It is well recognised that graduates require extensive support and development throughout this very difficult time. In Victoria graduate nurse programs are a recognised vessel to deliver this support. Quality graduate programs which meet the satisfaction of graduate nurses are required to provide effective support. The implications of minimal support are enormous and can lead to graduates leaving the profession. There is much in the literature suggesting the importance of each of the varied components of graduate programs however there is minimal comparisons made between various programs. As a result it was difficult to measure the qualities of programs. The purpose of this study was to explore and compare various graduate nurse programs and identify whether the programs were satisfying the needs of graduate nurses. An exploratory descriptive design was utilised and a written questionnaire was employed to gain data. The findings of this research indicated that the delivery of graduate nurse programs within this study were not consistent in content and quality. Overall graduates were satisfied with their graduate nurse program although they identified there were areas which required improvement. This project has suggested that the analysis of graduate nurse satisfaction is vital in identifying quality programs that retain graduates. It is essential that ongoing evaluation of programs are completed by graduate nurses to ensure they are satisfying their needs and thus retaining them within the nursing profession

Future personal attributes and job competencies needed by the Texas Department of State Health Services (DSHS), state hospital section, registered nurse managers: a Delphi studyHarrison, Joseph, Jr. 01 November 2005 (has links)
The first purpose of this study was to describe and illustrate a modification of
the Delphi technique that was designed to identify future personal attributes and job
competencies needed to help update requirements for the year 2006 needed by the
Texas Department of State Health Services (DSHS) nursing middle manager, the
registered nurse manager, as perceived by the DSHS subject matter experts. The
subject matter experts consisted of a group of registered nurses holding leadership
positions in the DSHS, State Hospital Section. The second purpose was to determine a
consensus of future personal attributes and job competencies developed from the
responses of the DSHS subject matter experts. For the last purpose of this study, using
the findings of the future personal attributes and job competencies identified through
this study, DSHS would have a tool to develop a model to guide hiring decisions and
initial training. Additionally, the hiring and initial training model could also serve to assist in developing a content model for future in-service and continuing education
training.
The modified Delphi technique used in this study was comparable to the
complete Delphi technique in terms of approach, for example, using a sequence of
rounds with chosen experts and objectives to predict future events and to arrive at
consensus. For this study, the foremost modification of the Delphi technique consisted
of beginning the process with a set of 28 thoroughly selected personal attributes and
job competencies clusters that the panel could use as a guide for personal attributes and
job competencies selection. These pre-selected personal attributes and job
competencies clusters were drawn from various sources including related competency
profiles, job descriptions, and synthesized reviews of the literature.
The approach consisted of a 15-member expert panel of 10 nurse managers and
5 chief nurse executives currently working within and representing the 11 facilities of
the DSHS, State Hospital Section. The panel members were nominated by the nursing
director of the State Hospital Section of the Texas Department of State Health
Services. The panel completed three rounds of the Delphi process, identifying 24
personal attributes and job competencies clusters.
