It's All About Empowerment and Confidence: Experience of Newly Registered Nurses in an Intensive Clinical Training
Background:
This study investigated how intensive clinical nursing training influences the confidence of newly registered nurses in speaking up about their opinions and concerns within their current work settings.
Method:
A qualitative approach with thematic analysis was used. In-depth interviews were conducted with 64 newly graduated RNs to explore their experience in attending an undergraduate intensive clinical training course.
Results:
Four main themes emerged from the texts: (a) facing the workplace reality with confidence, (b) being equipped with knowledge and skills, (c) merging with the health care team, and (d) being empowered with high self-esteem.
Conclusion:
The newly graduated nurses believed that the intensive clinical nursing training course enhanced their confidence, improved their communication skills, and empowered them to speak up for their rights and those of their patients. [J Contin Educ Nurs. 2025;56(1):14-19.].
