New Nurses' Positive Evaluation of Transition-to-Practice Programs
Background:
The established nurse transition-to-practice program offered at one Australian health service underwent significant changes in 2017. This study aimed to gain feedback from the participants in the 2016 and 2017 programs.
Method:
A four-page paper survey was given to participants in the 2016 and 2017 programs.
Results:
Both cohorts were positive about the content, organization, and support provided to them throughout the program.
Conclusion:
The program will continue to undergo incremental improvements to meet the needs of the organization and the graduates. The need to tailor future programs to meet the needs of nurses working in rural and remote facilities has been identified. It has been suggested that options for more dynamic presentations of content also need to be explored. J Contin Educ Nurs. 2018;49(11):500-506.
