Where Do We Go From Here?: The Impact of COVID-19 on Practice Readiness and Considerations for Nurse Leaders
Abstract:
The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted nurses transitioning to practice in a variety of ways over the past 2 years. Analysis from the Versant Database comparing new graduate nurses (NGNs) from 2018-2021 revealed a widened practice gap for NGNs in these specialty areas of practice: critical care, perinatal, and emergency. Additionally, NGNs achieved 100% competency validation sooner in 2020-2021. The analysis also revealed greater diversity of NGNs who participated in a transition to practice program in 2020-2021. Based on these findings, this article proposes recommendations for nurse leaders to consider as NGNs transition into the workforce.
