The professional competence of newly graduated nurses in the transition phase as assessed by nurse managers: a descriptive cross-sectional multi-national study
Newly graduated nurses were assessed to have a good level of professional competence to meet the demands of their work in the transition phase, although there is room for improvement. The results can be used for cooperation between working life and nursing education to identify areas where the professional competence of newly qualified nurses can be improved and to promote their transition and continuous professional development in Europe.
