What are the experiences of new graduate registered nurses transitioning into working in residential aged care homes? A qualitative systematic review
A total of 185 articles were selected and screened by title and abstract. Of these, 12 were selected for full-text review and three were selected for inclusion. Common across the three studies was that there was no formal program to support the new graduate registered nurse, nor a senior clinician to offer advice or support, which led to NGRN seeking advice from less qualified staff.
