  • Workplace Dynamics

Background:

  • The integration of higher education degrees into nursing practice has been a significant development.
  • This shift has often been met with varied responses within the healthcare environment.
  • Understanding these responses is crucial for effective professional integration and development.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the attitudes and reactions of hospital-based Registered Nurses (RNs) towards the increasing emphasis on nursing degrees.
  • To explore the nature of tensions and hostility in clinical settings related to nursing education changes.
  • To analyze how both degree-holding and non-degree-holding nurses responded to these educational shifts.

Main Methods:

  • Qualitative research approach to capture nuanced attitudes and experiences.

  • Analysis of reported tensions and hostilities in clinical settings.

    • Main Results:

    • Significant tension and hostility were prevalent in clinical settings during the study period.
    • Distinct reactions were observed between nurses with and without nursing degrees.
    • Nurses' articulation of their experiences emerged as a key factor in adaptation.

    Conclusions:

    • Verbalizing reactions to changes in nursing education, despite a hostile environment, facilitated constructive adaptation.
    • Healthcare environments need to address the underlying issues contributing to tension surrounding nursing degrees.
