Coming of Age During Coronavirus: New Nurses' Perceptions of Transitioning to Practice During a Pandemic
Background:
The global COVID-19 pandemic has created unprecedented challenges to the health care workforce. Little is known about the effect of the pandemic on new RNs and their preparedness for such a crisis.
