Abstract
BackgroundThe nursing profession is under more pressure than ever to hire clinicians who exhibit critical thinking skills. A review of the literature has identified a divide between bedside clinicians and nursing faculty resulting in the separation of academic educators from current clinical practices. This has led to new graduates entering the clinical setting inadequately prepared to meet the clinical needs and demands of today's hospitalized patients. PurposeThe purpose was to describe the lived experience of Bachelor of Science graduate nurses' preparedness to meet the demands of their profession upon hire. MethodA generic qualitative study was used. FindingsStudy participants reported a lack of skills training as the reason for feelings of being ill-prepared in the clinical setting. DiscussionA call for collaboration between academia and clinicians in hospital settings with shared responsibilities for meeting the learning needs of new graduates is essential.
