- Title
The Gap Between Nursing Education and Clinical Skills.
- Authors
Bennett, Lila Leanne
- Abstract
New graduate nurses are often stressed in the early months of their first position following graduation. The researcher examined whether new graduate nurses were ready for the workplace or if there a gap between nursing education and clinical skills, causing new graduates to feel less confident and new supervisors/employers to be frustrated with the graduates' lack of readiness to be part of the nursing team. The concern was whether the new graduates had acquired the necessary clinical skills while in their nursing education programs in order for them to be a full team member upon graduation. The model used to examine both important areas of education and practice was Benner's (1984) model of skill acquisition. Thirty-three new graduates with less than one year of experience participated in the study.
