Abstract

A National study by The Advisory Board surveyed hospitals about the preparedness of new Registered Nurse graduates. The results of this study indicated that new graduate nurses joining the workforce were not practising at the level required to meet the needs of patients in several leadership areas including delegation, ability to anticipate risks, prioritization, and conflict resolution (Nurse Executive Center, 2008). Addressing these areas prior to graduation may better prepare students for the rigor of nursing practice.
