Specialised support for student nurses making the transition to graduate nurse can be crucial to successful and smooth adjustment, and can create a path to positive and stable career experiences. This paper describes an enhanced model of final year nursing student placements which was trialled in 2006 at the Queensland University of Technology. The model involved collaboration with two major urban health services and resources were developed to support effective transition experiences. Ninety-two students, including 29 trial participants and 63 non-trial participants were assessed on preparedness for professional practice, before and after the trial semester. Results indicated an increase in preparedness across the entire sample, but students participating in the trial did not differ significantly in overall preparedness change from those who did not participate. Higher baseline preparedness in the trial group highlighted the possibility that proactive students who choose enrichment experiences tend to be likelier to gain benefit from such options than those who do not. Qualitative findings from focus groups conducted with 12 transition group students highlighted that one of the main beneficial aspects of the experience for students was the sense of belonging to a team that understood their learning needs and could work constructively with them.
为向毕业护士转型的实习护士提供专业支持对于成功且顺利地适应至关重要，并且能够开创一条通往积极稳定职业经历的道路。本文描述了一种强化的最后一年护理专业学生实习模式，该模式于2006年在昆士兰科技大学进行了试验。该模式涉及与两个主要城市卫生服务机构的合作，并开发了资源以支持有效的转型体验。在试验学期前后，对92名学生进行了评估，其中包括29名试验参与者和63名非试验参与者，评估内容为专业实践准备情况。结果表明，整个样本的准备情况有所提高，但参与试验的学生与未参与试验的学生在总体准备情况变化方面没有显著差异。试验组较高的基线准备情况凸显了这样一种可能性，即选择丰富体验的积极主动的学生往往比不这样做的学生更有可能从此类选择中受益。对12名转型组学生进行焦点小组访谈的定性结果突出表明，对学生而言，这种体验的主要有益方面之一是归属感，即属于一个理解他们学习需求并能与他们建设性合作的团队。
