Background The challenges related to the transition to professional nursing practice for the novice nurse have been well documented. In 2020, the transition to professional nursing was complicated by COVID-19. This research assimilated important qualitative perceptions related to the reasons novice nurses sought professional nursing practice and the impact of the pandemic on the decision to become a nurse, and identified the novice nurses' concerns related to COVID-19 and direct patient care. Method A qualitative survey was completed by recent BSN graduates. Data were analyzed using content analysis of the open-ended questions. Results New graduate RNs identified the following themes: helping and caring for others; being inspired by practicing nurses; apprehension; validation of professional choice; dangerous conditions; and underprepared to care for patients with COVID-19. Conclusion Nurse leaders should be cognizant that the transition experience of new nurses who began their practice during the pandemic may be more complex than that of previous new nurses. The information from this study presents an opportunity for the staff of health care institutions to be mindful of these factors as they mentor and support these much-needed new nurses. .
新手护士在向专业护理实践过渡方面所面临的挑战已得到充分记录。2020 年，向专业护理的过渡因 COVID-19 而变得复杂。这项研究综合了与新手护士寻求专业护理实践的原因以及大流行对成为护士的决定的影响有关的重要定性看法，并确定了新手护士对 COVID-19 和直接患者护理的关注。方法：最近的 BSN 毕业生完成了一项定性调查。使用对开放式问题的内容分析对数据进行了分析。结果：新毕业的注册护士确定了以下主题：帮助和照顾他人；受到执业护士的启发；担忧；专业选择的验证；危险的情况；以及准备不足，无法照顾 COVID-19 患者。结论：护理领导者应该意识到，在大流行期间开始执业的新护士的过渡经历可能比以前的新护士更为复杂。这项研究的信息为医疗机构的工作人员提供了一个机会，使他们在指导和支持这些急需的新护士时能够注意到这些因素。
