This systematic review will synthesize the qualitative literature on students' experiences of a post-licensure practical nurse to registered nurse bridging program.
The worldwide shortage of registered nurses has prompted governments and educational institutions to develop alternative pathways to nursing licensure. One strategy used to increase the supply of registered nurses is bridging programs. These grant practical nurses academic credit for previous educational and practical experience, which allows them to complete a Bachelor of Nursing degree in a shorter period of time. However, attrition in bridging programs is a concern. Understanding the experiences of students enrolled in bridging programs will help identify their specific needs and the educational support needed for them to successfully transition into the registered nursing role.
This review will include published and unpublished studies that examine the experiences of practical nurses enrolled in bridging programs. Studies published in English will be considered, with no date limitations.
Databases to be searched include CINAHL, MEDLINE, Embase, and ERIC. Gray literature will be searched for in ProQuest Dissertations and Theses and GreyNet International. Reference lists of included studies will also be reviewed to identify additional studies. The critical appraisal of selected studies and the extraction of data will be independently undertaken by two reviewers using JBI methodology. The findings will be pooled using meta-aggregation to produce comprehensive synthesized findings. A ConQual Summary of Findings will also be presented.

本系统评价将综合定性文献,了解学生在毕业后注册护士到注册护士衔接课程中的体验。
全球注册护士短缺促使各国政府和教育机构制定了替代的护理执照途径。一种增加注册护士供应的策略是使用衔接课程。这些课程为以前的教育和实践经验向执业护士授予学分,使他们能够在更短的时间内完成护理学学士学位。然而,衔接课程的辍学率令人担忧。了解衔接课程学生的体验将有助于确定他们的具体需求以及为他们成功过渡到注册护士角色所需的教育支持。
本综述将包括研究衔接课程的执业护士的经验的已发表和未发表的研究。将考虑发表在英文期刊上的研究,没有时间限制。
将搜索的数据库包括 CINAHL、MEDLINE、Embase 和 ERIC。灰色文献将在 ProQuest 论文和 Theses 和 GreyNet International 中进行搜索。还将审查纳入研究的参考文献列表以确定其他研究。使用 JBI 方法,两名评审员将独立进行选定研究的批判性评估和数据提取。将使用元聚合来汇集研究结果,以产生全面的综合研究结果。还将呈现 ConQual 综合结果摘要。
