The Gap between Nursing Education and Clinical Skills, Are New Graduate Nurses Ready for the Workplace?

Order Description

Identify and describe the research design that you plan to use for your research study. Describe any threat ot the validity of the design, as used in your study.

Describe the method you plan to use to obtain the sample. Describe your population, sample, and setting. Discuss any limitations associated with your sampling method.

Write the research question here first. Then, write out the answer to this response.

Reflect and begin selecting and or designing tool. Consider how you will establish validity and reliability if the tool is self designed.

1. Measurement tool
2. Description of the tool
3. Established reliability and validity
4. Include scoring information.
5. Demographic tool.

Hint: It is best for you to select a tool that already has validity and reliability already establish

Plan for Data collection. Discuss any anticipated problems as well as strategy to overcome any data collection and management problems.

Order Description
You have written Chapter 1 and 2 of Thesis proposal.The topic is The Gap between Nursing Education and Clinical Skills, Are New Graduate Nurses Ready for the Workplace? I submitted the theoretical framework below and was asked to now, write your topic and your theory together here. How does your theory guide your research? Name at least 3 ways. You might be asked this question at thesis defense. Remember if this is the correct theory for your planned research you will see this theory mentioned within your articles.

I will also attach Chapter 1 and literature review for you to look at.

Subject: Theoretical Framework

The theoretical framework that is consistent with my research topic is Patricia Benner’s theory from Novice to Expert. “Benner’s practice development theory demonstrates how a nurse moves from a beginning, rule-based practice through to expert care. Her notion of expert practice as intuitive has not been well-accepted or understood in nursing. A new description of expert practice includes three types of intuitive practice (cognitive, transitional and embodied), the development of which are dependent on knowledge, experience and reflective time” (Lyneham, Parkinson & Denholm, 2009. P 2477). This theory applies to the learning process of nurses and would apply to the gap that exists between nursing education and nursing practice. Without proper education and training, the new nurse cannot progress through the stages of novice to expert. Every new nurse begins as a novice nurse, however, with the proper education and training they are given the confidence to progress through the stages appropriately.

Definitions of terms:

Nursing Education- development of the nursing profession

Nursing Clinicals- supervised sessions in real world healthcare environments for nursing students to practice in.

Nursing preceptorship- “A clinical preceptorship can be defined as a supervised clinical experience which allows students to apply knowledge gained in the didactic portion of a program to clinical practice” (Board of Nurse Examiners for the State of Texas, 2005).
