This paper reports the findings from a study of career aspirations undertaken as part of a larger study on the graduate outcomes of two different preregistration nursing educational programmes in the UK.
A self-completion questionnaire was administered to 52 degree graduates and 28 diplomates from two Universities on completion of their course.
The findings suggest that while graduates appeared more definite over their long-term career goals, diplomates were more confident in their initial decision to enter the nursing profession. All respondents showed a marked tendency towards hospital-based clinical posts on graduation. Degree graduates displayed a greater interest in working overseas, nominating a far broader range of possible destinations and expressed interest in a wider range of further education courses, including Master's and PhD degrees.
The career aspirations of degree graduates and diplomates revealed in this study highlight a number of issues with implications for workforce planning, recruitment and retainment. Further larger scale longitudinal research is warranted.
本文报告了一项关于职业抱负研究的结果，该研究是对英国两种不同的预注册护理教育项目毕业生成果的一项更大规模研究的一部分。
在课程结束时，对来自两所大学的52名学位毕业生和28名文凭持有者进行了自填式问卷调查。
结果表明，虽然毕业生对其长期职业目标似乎更明确，但文凭持有者对其最初进入护理行业的决定更有信心。所有受访者在毕业时都明显倾向于医院临床岗位。学位毕业生对海外工作表现出更大兴趣，提名了范围更广的可能目的地，并对更广泛的继续教育课程表现出兴趣，包括硕士和博士学位。
本研究中揭示的学位毕业生和文凭持有者的职业抱负凸显了一些对劳动力规划、招聘和留用有影响的问题。有必要进行进一步更大规模的纵向研究。
