The goal was to determine if new bachelor's of science in nursing (BSN) nurses perceived their education to be relevant for the current demands of the profession.
The design was nonexperimental, descriptive survey research. Data were gathered using a researcher-designed mailed survey. Addresses for survey participants, RNs who had graduated with a BSN within 2 years prior to June 2012, were obtained from the North Carolina State Board of Nursing.
This study found that new graduates in the sample perceived their academic preparation to be adequate for transitioning into professional practice; however, new graduates wish they'd had more opportunities to practice clinical skills while in nursing school. Respondents also perceived that some health assessment content included in nursing programs may not typically be useful in entry-level nursing practice.
Because a large percentage of the sample perceived they'd had inadequate clinical practice time, new nurses might not feel completely competent with practice-related skills. Employers should take this into consideration when structuring orientation programs. Additionally, the curricula planners for BSN programs might creatively and strategically consider ways to increase or improve the clinical practice opportunities for nursing students.
本研究旨在确定护理学理学学士（BSN）新毕业护士是否认为其所学教育与当前职业需求相关。
本研究采用非实验性描述性调查研究设计。数据通过研究者自行设计的邮寄调查问卷收集。调查对象为2012年6月前两年内毕业于护理学理学学士专业的注册护士（RN），其地址从北卡罗来纳州护理委员会获取。
本研究发现，样本中的新毕业生认为其学业准备足以过渡到专业实践；然而，新毕业生希望在护理学校期间能有更多机会练习临床技能。受访者还认为，护理课程中包含的一些健康评估内容在初级护理实践中可能并不常用。
由于大部分样本认为其临床实践时间不足，新护士可能对与实践相关的技能缺乏足够的信心。雇主在制定入职培训计划时应考虑到这一点。此外，护理学理学学士课程的规划者可以创造性地、战略性地考虑增加或改善护理专业学生临床实践机会的方法。
