Nurse Residents' Legacy Letters: A Qualitative Analysis
Abstract:
It is important for graduate nurses to reflect on their time in residency programs. Legacy letters, written by oncology nurse residents to future residents, reflect on "what I wish I knew" and "what I learned." A retrospective, qualitative thematic analysis of 30 letters at a National Cancer Institute-designated comprehensive cancer center in the southeastern United States was conducted. Four themes arose. Understanding these experiences can provide insight to nurse residents and guide improvements for the residency program.
