How to facilitate the orientation of new nurses into the workplace.
The orientation of new nursing graduates into the workplace is an impressive challenge. A research study was performed to identify the key elements of a program that would address the various issues regarding this orientation. A team of researchers from Laval University and the Centre Hospitalier Universitaire de Quebec (CHUQ) used a descriptive and participative research method and identified five key elements that must be considered in order for this orientation to succeed.
