The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic affected how nurses learn and prepare for their future careers. This study explored the experiences of college-prepared, novice nurses pursuing a baccalaureate degree during the first wave of the pandemic.
This qualitative descriptive study analyzed students' individual reflective assignments describing the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on novice nurses' personal, professional, and educational lives.
Three themes emerged: (1) emotions generated in the clinical workplace due to the lack of control and the unknown of working as novice nurses during a pandemic; (2) cognitive dissonance of the nursing role regarding novice nurses' moral distress and their growing empowerment within the scope of practice; and (3) a disconcerted image of nursing with contrasting views of nursing from the public's perspective and a disconnect between frontline workers and decision makers.
Novel pedagogical strategies are needed to help novice nurses cope with stress, uncertainty, and role challenges to foster healthy learning in academic and working environments. .
2019 年冠状病毒病（COVID-19）大流行影响了护士的学习方式和未来职业规划。本研究探讨了在疫情第一波期间，准备攻读大学的新手护士获得学士学位的经历。
本定性描述性研究分析了学生个人反思作业，描述了 COVID-19 大流行对新手护士个人、专业和教育生活的影响。
出现了三个主题：（1）由于缺乏控制和在大流行期间作为新手护士工作的未知，在临床工作场所产生的情绪；（2）新手护士的道德困境和在实践范围内不断增强的赋权与护理角色之间的认知失调；（3）公众对护理的看法存在矛盾，以及一线工作者和决策者之间存在脱节，导致对护理的形象感到不安。
需要新颖的教学策略来帮助新手护士应对压力、不确定性和角色挑战，以促进学术和工作环境中的健康学习。
