Abstract
Objective: This review aims to synthesize qualitative literature exploring the experiences of undergraduate nursing students and newly graduated nurses who are employed for less than 1 year in clinical settings after graduation. It will focus on those who had paid employment and health-related work experience during their undergraduate studies, examining the influence of these experiences on the transition to practice.
Introduction: Nursing professionals undergo a transformative journey, starting from envisioning themselves as nurses, to developing professional identity and competence. However, the initial transition to nursing practice often poses challenges for undergraduates and newly graduated nurses. To ease this transition, gaining additional clinical experience through paid employment or health-related work during undergraduate studies can be beneficial.
Inclusion criteria: This review will include qualitative studies on the experiences of undergraduate nursing students and newly graduated nurses in paid employment models and health-related work. No restrictions on the publication date or country will be applied; however, only English-language publications will be included.
Methods: The JBI methodology for qualitative systematic reviews will be employed. Searches will be conducted in MEDLINE, Embase, Emcare (Ovid); CINAHL Complete (EBSCOhost); and ERIC (ProQuest), along with gray literature in ProQuest Dissertations and Theses and Google Scholar. Study selection, quality assessment, and data extraction will be conducted as per the JBI methodology. Findings will be synthesized using meta-aggregation, and a ConQual Summary of Findings will be created.
