Abstract
AbstractThere is an identified gap between the academic preparation of nursing students and the needs/expectations of clinical agencies who hire them after graduation (Nursing Executive Center of the Advisory Board Company, 2008). Based on the results of a survey of nursing school academic leaders and frontline hospital leaders (nurse managers, directors, educators, and charge nurses), the report identifies a “preparation-practice gap” that reflects the concerns of hospital leaders about the “practice readiness” of new nursing graduates in six general areas: clinical knowledge, technical skills, critical thinking, communication, professionalism, and management of responsibilities. Only 10.4% of the 135 nurse executives who responded to this survey agreed that new graduates are fully prepared in these areas, while 89.9% of 362 nursing school leaders agreed.KeywordsDecision Support SystemElectronic Health RecordNursing StudentNursing EducationElectronic Health Record SystemThese keywords were added by machine and not by the authors.
