This paper is a report of a study which aimed to explore the transition experiences of graduate Registered Nurses (RN) who had previously practised as Enrolled Nurses.
The literature suggests that graduate RN who have previously practised as Enrolled Nurses (EN) have specific support needs during their first year of clinical practice.
A qualitative descriptive study using focus group interviews was undertaken in the Australian Capital Territory, Australia in 2009. Eight graduate nurses (GN) were interviewed 1 week after the graduate nurses programme (GNP) had commenced and five GN at the middle and four GN at the end of the programme. Content analysis of the transcribed data was used to explicate themes.
Three main categories were identified from the data: stepping out of their comfort zone, being taken advantage of and needing support like any other new RN. The GN pleaded that they need to be treated as any other new nurses undertaking the graduate nurse programme and for staff to forget that they used to be Enrolled Nurses.
Registered Nurses who had previously practised as Enrolled Nurses preferred not to be identified as having previous nursing experience as they feared being treated by their nurse managers as already capable of practicing as RN when in fact they needed support similar to any new graduate.
本文是一项研究报告，旨在探讨先前从事注册护士（EN）的研究生注册护士（GN）在过渡期间的经验。
文献表明，在临床实践的第一年，曾从事注册护士（EN）的研究生注册护士（GN）有特定的支持需求。
2009 年，在澳大利亚首都地区采用焦点小组访谈的定性描述性研究。在研究生护士计划（GNP）开始后一周，对 8 名研究生护士（GN）进行了访谈，在计划中期对 5 名 GN 进行了访谈，在计划结束时对 4 名 GN 进行了访谈。对转录数据进行内容分析以阐明主题。
从数据中确定了三个主要类别：走出舒适区、被利用和需要像其他新注册护士一样的支持。GN 恳请他们像任何其他参加研究生护士计划的新护士一样得到对待，并希望工作人员忘记他们曾经是注册护士。
曾从事注册护士工作的注册护士更愿意不被认为具有以前的护理经验，因为他们担心其护士长会认为他们已经有能力作为注册护士执业，而实际上他们需要类似于任何新毕业生的支持。
