Abstract
Aim: This concept analysis seeks to define and clarify the concept of role transition in nursing. The concept is analyzed as it relates to the BSN-prepared nurse transitioning from expert bedside nurse to novice adjunct clinical faculty.
Background: BSN-prepared nurses may struggle when transitioning to adjunct clinical faculty roles. Analysis of the concept is needed to its unique meanings and significance.
Method: Walker and Avant's linear model of concept analysis provided the framework for this analysis.
Results: The analysis revealed that role transition in nursing has three defining attributes: assimilation to the role, straddling identities, and mentorship support with development, identity, and mentorship as antecedents.
Conclusion: With nursing faculty shortages, transition of the BSN-prepared bedside nurse to the adjunct clinical faculty needs fostering for successful role transition. Using assessment tools in addition to mentorship and support may positively affect this role transition.
期刊介绍:
A publication of the National League for Nursing, Nursing Education Perspectives is a peer-reviewed, bimonthly journal that provides evidence for best practices in nursing education. Through the publication of rigorously designed studies, the journal contributes to the advancement of the science of nursing education. It serves as a forum for research and innovation regarding teaching and learning, curricula, technology, and other issues important to nursing education. Today, as nurse educators strive to advance research in nursing education and break away from established patterns and chart new pathways in nursing education, Nursing Education Perspectives is a vital resource. Nursing Education Perspectives is housed in the NLN Chamberlain College of Nursing for the Advancement of the Science of Nursing Education.
