“…Attrition is costly for health services; leading to nursing shortages, and ultimately impacting patient safety (Phillips et al, 2014). Acknowledging Benner and Duchscher, numerous studies recommend mentoring, socialisation, positive reinforcement and continuing support for NGRNs (Chang and Daly, 2016;Gazaway et al, 2016;Laschinger et al, 2016;Neville & Wilson, 2016;Numminen et al,2015;Phillips et al, 2014). These findings are synonymous with job satisfaction and occupational commitment.…”

The transition to quality and safety in the new graduate registered nurses' practice remains problematic directly impacting patient outcomes. Effective mentoring during transition serves to enhance experiential learning, allowing the development and establishment of safe, quality nursing practice. Comprehensive understanding of the transition process, including the barriers and effective enablers to transition is the key to effective mentoring. A theoretical framework guided by Duchscher's Stages of Transition Theory and Transition Shock Model and Benner's From novice to expert model can facilitate such understanding. Nurse Theorists play an important part in shaping nurse education and practice and have provided nurse educators and leaders an understanding to shape skill acquisition and the transition process for new graduate registered nurses. The res ultantresearchmodels and theory of these influencial nurses are pertinent to transition of new graduate registered nurses. This paper outlines the theories of Duchscher and Benner and how their research formed the theoretical framework to facilitate the measurement, understanding and improvement of the safety and quality of nursing care and impact the future nursing workforce.

“…All newly licensed RNs are expected to competently provide efficient patient care immediately after graduation and passing their national licensure examination (Marion et al., ). Consequently, newly licensed RNs must transition quickly from an educational milieu to a professional work milieu, integrating theoretical concepts learned as a student with the protocols and regulations of their employers (Gazaway, Schumacher, & Anderson, ). This integration process is known as professional socialization (Apesoa‐Varano, ).…”

“…With the global issue of increasing NGRN attrition, it is evident that provision of support is necessary to mitigate the critical vulnerability of new graduates transitioning to the role of registered nurse (Gazaway, Schumacher, & Anderson, ; Laschinger et al, ). Retention of these nurses in the profession is necessary to maintain appropriate levels of safety for patients, and as such, it is important for nurse managers and leaders to maintain that culture of safety through the provision of a just and civil work environment that nurtures NGRNs.…”

Aim To explore new graduate registered nurses' knowledge and attitudes concerning medical error and patient safety, during their first 6 months of professional practice. Background New graduate registered nurses demonstrate basic skills and levels of performance due to limited exposure and experience in actual situations. There is a concern held for their clinical reasoning skills required to recognize patient deterioration, posing a threat to patient safety. Methods An online questionnaire was used to survey new graduate registered nurses at three time points during graduate nurse programmes between August 2016 and February 2018. Results A decrease in self‐reported knowledge and attitudes regarding medical errors was noted over the three time points. These results indicate initial confidence in theoretical knowledge and attitudes upon completion of undergraduate education, and prior to commencing professional practice. Conclusion Results suggest that a theory practice gap persists with respect to medical error for transitioning new nurses. Impact for Nursing Management New nurses lack confidence around compromised patient safety situations and a knowledge gap around actions related to medical error. Nurse managers and educators should be made aware of this gap to implement strategies to decrease risk during novice nurse transition.
