Abstract

The purpose of this phenomenological study was to explore and describe the experience that associate degree and diploma nursing graduates have when transitioning from RN to BSN. Twelve nurses with a variety of clinical backgrounds and completion of different RN-BSN programs were interviewed to elicit the lived experience of transitioning from RN to BSN. Eight theme clusters emerged when the formulated meanings were organized into categories: (1) Varied Expectations, (2) Tentative Beginnings, (3) Cornerstone Courses, (4) Translating Knowledge Into Empowerment, (5) Becoming Assertive Leader and Advocate, (6) Confronting and Conquering Challenges, (7) Envisioning the Whole, and (8) Recreating Everyday Practice. Findings indicate that both the quality of patient care and nurses' practice were enhanced as a result of BSN completion programs.

摘要

这项现象学研究的目的是探索和描述护理学副学士学位和文凭持有者从注册护士（RN）过渡到护理学学士（BSN）时的经历。研究人员采访了12名具有不同临床背景且完成了不同RN-BSN课程的护士，以了解从RN过渡到BSN的实际经历。当将形成的意义组织成类别时，出现了八个主题簇：（1）期望各异，（2）初步开端，（3）基础课程，（4）将知识转化为力量，（5）成为自信的领导者和倡导者，（6）面对并克服挑战，（7）着眼全局，（8）重塑日常实践。研究结果表明，完成BSN课程提高了患者护理质量和护士的实践水平。
