“…The readiness of new graduate nurses to enter the job market is an international concern (Edwards, Hawker, Carrier, & Rees, ; Goode, Lynn, Krsek, & Bednash, ; Hunsberger, Baumann, & Crea‐Arsenio, ). Employers and nurse mentors agree that new nurses lack confidence and often feel overwhelmed (Chesak et al., ; Lindfors & Junttila, ; Pfaff, Baxter, Jack, & Ploeg, ). Transition is a critical early phase of employment that facilitates the integration of new graduate nurses into clinical practice.…”

Background: Newly qualified nurses in South Africa are required to undertake a compulsory 1-year community service (CS) in a public healthcare facility. They are not yet competent to work alone and require supervision and support from senior professional nurses.Aim: This study aimed to explore and describe the experiences of community service nurses (CSNs) regarding supervision and support from professional nurses at primary healthcare clinics (PHC).Setting: The study was conducted with CSNs who were working in PHC clinics in Nelson Mandela Bay (NMB).Methods: A qualitative, explorative, descriptive and contextual study was conducted using semi-structured interviews with 10 CSNs. Purposive sampling was used. Data were analysed using Tesch’s coding method of content analysis.Results: Two themes and six sub-themes emerged, the key themes being participants’ diverse needs related to CS placement at PHC clinics and participants’ social interaction with the professional nurses during CS.Conclusion: Supervision and support for the CSNs during their CS rotation was inadequate at most clinics in this study. Recommendations, based on findings, were made for an improved CS experience and further research.Contribution: The CSNs require supervision and support in the CS year, particularly in PHC clinics, clearly presented in this study. The findings of the study can be used to improve the experience of CS for CSNs in the PHC setting in NMB.

“…In a 2009 study by Hickey (2009), preceptors reported that newly graduated nurses were weak in the following areas: (a) psychomotor skills, (b) assessment skills, (c) critical thinking, (d) time management, (e) communication, and (f) teamwork. Other studies support Hickey's findings, indicating that new graduates lacked organizational, time management and communication skills (Dyess & Sherman, 2009;Lindfors & Junttila, 2014); newly licensed nurses failed to recognize life-threatening complications (NCSBN, 2009) and did not demonstrate competence (Lima, Newall, Kinney, Jordan, & Hamilton, 2014). This underscores the transition of a nurse from novice to expert.…”

Purpose: Competent nursing care is essential to positive patient outcomes and quality patient care. Graduate nurses begin practice as novices in knowledge and experience often entering an environment where patients have several disease processes complicating their care. A strong foundation of educational competencies prior to entering practice is vital for the development and growth of graduate nurses into the role of RN. The purpose of this study was to examine the use of the Nurse Competence Scale among nursing faculty.Method: Nursing faculty were surveyed to determine which competencies were a priority in nursing practice. The Nurse Competence Scale was used to identify and categorize nurse competences. Brenner’s novice to expert theoretical framework was used to apply findings to curricular programs. IRB approval was granted from each educational institution. SPSS statistical analysis was used to analyze survey results.Results: Among the categories of the Nurse Competence Scale, nursing faculty identified Acting appropriately in life-threatening situations in the Managing Situations section as most important to practice. In the category of Helping, Planning patient care according to individual needs was identified as most important. Additionally the nursing faculty surveyed rated Contributing to further development of multidisciplinary clinical paths in the Therapeutic Interventions category as the lowest.Conclusion: This study contributes to the discussion on nursing competence. Priorities for nursing faculty aligned with register nurses in practice. This study helps pair nursing education with practice in several ways including aligning current practice with education. Nurse Educators may use these findings to help join curricular outcomes with practice. Evaluating each item on the Nurse Competence Scale using the critical to practice scale provides insight to the necessary skills and knowledge needed to be competent in nursing. In addition the results may be compared to current practice guidelines to ensure best practice. Further research linking education and practice using nursing competence is needed.
