BACKGROUND
In Australia, newly graduated registered nurses enter the workforce and a number of these have previous experience as enrolled nurses. For all newly graduated registered nurses, transitioning to the new role can be challenging.
AIM
The aim of this study was to explore the experiences of enrolled nurses transitioning to the role of registered nurses to support the development of effective transition programs.
DESIGN
An exploratory qualitative design.
METHODS
In-depth interviews with a purposive sample from one health service in South East Queensland, Australia. Data were analysed thematically.
FINDINGS
The three main themes emerging from analysis: a new scope of practice, perceptions of capability, building on experience and knowledge.
CONCLUSIONS
We recommend assessment of individual learning needs and support during the transition period which acknowledges previous experience and recognises learning required to effectively transition to the role of a registered nurse.
