Syftet med studien var att beskriva yrkeserfarna sjuksköterskors upplevelser av att arbeta med och stödja nyutexaminerade sjuksköterskor. En kvalitativ och beskrivande design användes. Undersökningsgruppen bestod av åtta kvinnliga sjuksköterskor från ett sjukhus i mellansverige. Huvudresultatet visade att de yrkeserfarna sjuksköterskorna var nöjda med nyutexaminerade sjuksköterskors arbetsinsats. En viktig aspekt var att nyutexaminerade sjuksköterskor frågade vid osäkerhet för att känna tillit. Sjuksköterskorna ansåg att stöd och uppskattning för att komma in i arbetet och gemenskapen var viktigt för att nyutexaminerade sjuksköterskor skulle känna sig trygga. Trots att sjuksköterskorna upplevde att nyutexaminerade sjuksköterskor var snabblärda, duktiga och nyfikna på att ta in ny lärdom i yrket, kom det dock fram att det fanns svårigheter att fokusera och prioritera rätt. Genomgående ansågs nyutexaminerade sjuksköterskor fokusera mer på dokumentation än omvårdnadsarbetet. Sjuksköterskorna betonade att mer praktik behövdes i grundutbildningen för att bättre förbereda nyutexaminerade sjuksköterskor i klinisk verksamhet. Vidare framkom det att längre introduktionstid behövdes i klinisk verksamhet för att komma in i rutinerna och sjuksköterskerollen. Slutsatsen visade att yrkeserfarna sjuksköterskor var nöjda med arbetsinsatsen från nyutexaminerade sjuksköterskor. Det ansågs viktigt att fråga vid osäkerhet och att mer fokus behövdes på omvårdnadsarbetet. Mer praktik ansågs nödvändigt för att lättare klara av den kliniska verksamheten. / The aim of the study was to describe professional experienced nurses' experiences of working with and supporting newly qualified nurses. A qualitative and descriptive design was used. The study group consisted of eight female nurses from a hospital in central Sweden. The main results showed that the professional experienced nurses were satisfied with the graduates’ nurses’ job performance. An important aspect was that newly qualified nurses asked if unsure to feel confident. The nurses felt that support and appreciation to get into work and community was important for newly qualified nurses to feel safe. Although the nurses felt that newly qualified nurses were quick to learn, skilled and curious to take on new learning in the profession, was however shown that there were difficulties to focus and 0Tprioritize the right0 Consistentlyconsidered graduates nurses to focus more on documentation than nursing. The nurses emphasized that more training was needed in basic education to better prepare graduate nurses for clinical practice. It was also found that longer introduction where needed in clinical practice to get into the routine and the nursing role. The conclusion showed that experienced nurses were satisfied with the effort from newly graduates’ nurses. It was considered important to ask if in doubt and that more focus was needed on nursing. More training was needed to help manage the clinical operations.

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to investigate what experienced professional engineers value regarding work related factors and what makes them stay in an employment and in an organization. Theory: The theory used is derived from relevant research regarding work life science and was divided into several parts. The first part contains research about Employer Branding and how employers can use strategies to attract candidates and retain current employees. The second part concerns turnover intentions which is used to examine whether there are relationships between work-related factors that professional engineers believe they have in their workplace and their intentions to stay. The third part embraces Model of retention which contains eight work-related factors which are divided into organizational- and job level. These eight work-related factors shows to have impact on retention of professional workers. Some items were added from Bloom Live Connect Grow Employer Branding framework to complete the ability to measure retention levels. At last we used theory regarding employee engagement to predict the target group’s engagement level to see if it had significant impact on retention of experienced professional engineers. Methodology: A cross-sectional quantitative approach was used in this study and a questionnaire was sent out to 301 experienced professional engineers that had an employment within a global industrial enterprise. Approximately 158 experienced professional engineers completed the survey which lead to a responding frequency of 52,5 % percent. Findings: The result of the study showed that almost all 26 items tested out of Model of retention scored high means. Therefore they proved to be important for the maintenance of professional engineers to make them want to remain in an employment and in an organization. The only work-related factor that showed statistical significance from the regression analysis performed was compensation. Another interesting disclosure found was that the target group proved to be engaged, but nevertheless, there was a greater intention to leave than to remain in the workplace. Practical implications: It is important for employers to pay attention to the results of this study when shaping workforce strategies to become competitive as an employer. Social implications: Engineers are a sought-after target group in the labor market and therefore it is important for employers and HR-departments to work with strategies regarding remaining valuable competences such as experienced professional engineers to ensure the future of the organization.
