Abstract |
This pilot descriptive study examines and measures the characteristics of preceptors of new graduate registered nurses undertaking the Nurse Entry to Practice Programme in an acute hospital in New Zealand. Thirty-three new graduate registered nurses at the five month stage of the programme completed a questionnaire pertaining to the characteristics of their preceptors. The questionnaires were adapted from the Ferrans and Powers (1998) Quality of Life Questionnaire. The adapted questionnaires were designed to measure the importance, satisfaction and overall quality of the preceptor's characteristics as perceived by the new graduate registered nurse, using a Likert Scale. Literature both international and national was examined to gain an understanding of the importance of the characteristics in question, in relation to the new graduate registered nurse preceptee experience. Descriptive data revealed the importance of characteristics as perceived by the new graduate nurse preceptee, and how satisfied the new graduate nurse was with their particular preceptor's characteristics. The results identified that the majority of new graduates were satisfied with the characteristics of their preceptor but there was evidence of negative discrepancies between the mean importance and satisfaction scores. The range of data between the scores of the overall quality of the preceptor uncovered areas where the quality of preceptorship was unsatisfactory as perceived by the new graduate nurse. The discrepancies in the data were examined and recommendations made for additional research, regarding selection and evaluation of preceptors of the new graduate registered nurse within the hospital environment. |

Abstract |
This report is an evaluation of the academic journey undertaken by a group of newly graduated nurses who were sponsored by a New Zealand district health board to work in a variety of primary health care nursing settings. The impetus for this pilot employment option was the Ministry of Health's focus on primary health care nursing and workforce development for this sector and the Expert Advisory Committee for primary health care nursing's recommendations to district health boards regarding employment of graduate nurses and support for them to engage in post graduate study. Evaluation participants were primarily the graduate nurses who were interviewed at the end of their first year of practice which was following programme completion then again nine to ten months later. Findings include the nurses reflections on what supported them and what acted to impede as barriers to their learning success and practice development. The report concludes with five recommendations that can be used to ensure that the travels of future newly graduated nurses taking this pathway are supported, safe and successful. |

Abstract |
The purpose of this article is twofold. The first is to clarify some of the challenges experienced while conducting collaborative research and describe the steps taken to ensure consistency between the purpose of the research and the phenomenological research design used to explore the learning that nursing students acquire in their final clinical practicum. Second, it was thought that by illuminating this learning, registered nurses working as preceptors and those supporting new graduates could gain insight into the complexities of learning the skills of safe and competent practice from the student's perspective. This insight is essential in creating a strategy between education and practice to minimise the duplication of learning opportunities and lessen the cost of supporting newly registered nurses, which may be at the expense of investment in the professional development of experienced registered nurses. |

Abstract |
The Plunket orientation programme, first implemented in 1994, aims to prepare new Plunket Nurses for autonomous practice within the complexity of community based nursing. This study seeks to identify what new Plunket Nurses feel are their orientation needs. An evaluation research approach was used. An examination of the literature explored how orientation is conducted and the needs of nurses in orientation. Key aspects in relation to orientation were identified as including socialisation, job change, new graduates, preceptorship, orientation frameworks and retention. A focus group followed by a postal survey were utilised to collect data from new Plunket Nurses nationwide to ascertain what they thought their orientation needs were. Data analysis was completed using descriptive statistics and thematic analysis. The results of the study identified key orientation needs for new Plunket Nurses. These were an orientation programme, preceptorship, clinical skills teaching, time in own area and beginning autonomous practice, administration needs and support needs. The participants recommended quality preceptorship and early clinical teaching from the Clinical Educator. There was a general dissatisfaction with orientation as it stands in preparing them for their role as a Plunket Nurse. Recommendations to the Plunket Management Team were made based on the results of this study. |

Abstract |
Chronic stress and 'burnout' have been extensively researched in nursing populations, but very little is known about the impact of specific acutely stressful or significant events. A novice nurse's first encounter with patient death may pose considerable cognitive, emotional and clinical challenges. Using a mixed methods design, this study explored the clinical circumstances, impact and challenges and rewards of nurses' early experiences with patient death. |
