Bridging the Gap: Implementation of Skills Review Days for New Graduate Nurses.

Abstract

This article will inform the reader about challenges of onboarding new graduate nurses during COVID-19 and discuss how to combat those challenges. New graduate nurses attended a skills day and completed pre- and postsurveys, rating their level of confidence in the same identified skills. Each participant showed improved confidence ( p < .001). Offering skills days to bridge the gap to clinical practice is shown to be beneficial.
