Aim:
To compare the clinical practice experiences of seconded healthcare assistants (HCAs) with four major socialisation concepts.
Method:
The sample was comprised of eight seconded HCAs, all from the same pre-registration mental health nursing cohort. A semi-structured focus group strategy was used, with the group convening on a yearly basis.
Findings:
The practice learning experiences of seconded HCAs are different to other nursing students and could be viewed as a unique socialisation process.
Conclusion:
Course planning teams should consider socialisation factors and supportive mentor strategies when designing the first year of pre-registration nursing programmes.
