Abstract

This qualitative study explored second degree prelicensure master's graduates' attraction to the nursing profession, views on nursing, and thoughts regarding their contribution to nursing. Fourteen individuals participated from a cohort of master's students enrolled in a second degree program with a Clinical Nurse Leader focus. Data were collected through researcher-participant interviews. The researchers categorized data according to interview questions using constant comparison. Within each category, central themes emerged. Findings revealed that participants were drawn to nursing because of the opportunities and the caring nature of nursing. Participants felt prepared and excited to start a second career despite having to overcome challenges. They believed that their previous education enhanced their communication abilities and broadened their views; however, they encountered difficulties integrating previously held perspectives into a nursing worldview. They found poor nurse-to-nurse relationships among some experienced nurses and the difficulty of nursing education surprising. The opportunity to help others and the people for whom they provided care were the two features the participants most liked about nursing. Understanding such insights is important to continue to attract individuals from other careers to nursing. Findings highlight the important contributions that these individuals bring to the profession.

摘要

本定性研究探讨了第二学位预许可硕士毕业生对护理职业的吸引力、对护理的看法，以及他们对自己对护理的贡献的看法。十四名参与者来自一个以临床护士领导者为重点的硕士研究生队列。通过研究人员与参与者的访谈收集数据。研究人员根据访谈问题对数据进行分类，使用恒定性比较。在每个类别中，都出现了核心主题。研究结果表明，参与者之所以被护理吸引，是因为护理提供了机会和关怀性质。尽管参与者必须克服挑战，但他们对开始第二职业生涯感到准备充分和兴奋。他们认为，他们以前的教育提高了他们的沟通能力，拓宽了他们的视野；然而，他们发现将以前的观点融入护理世界观具有挑战性。他们发现一些有经验的护士之间护士之间的关系不好，以及护理教育的困难令人惊讶。帮助他人和他们照顾的人是参与者最喜欢护理的两个特点。了解这些观点对于继续吸引其他职业的人从事护理工作很重要。研究结果强调了这些人对该职业的重要贡献。
