| Abstract |
This paper discusses the educational inequalities experienced by novice nurses because of COVID-19. It is imperative to have well-trained nurses who can make sound clinical judgments when caring for patients. However, novice nurses were underserved during the pandemic in their transition to clinical practice without comprehensive training programs. Lack of confidence and growing frustrations, novice nurses chose to leave the profession, creating a more considerable nursing shortage and increasing the incidence of burnout. The pandemic highlighted a gap in the training and transitioning process experienced by novice nurses. This project aims to provide evidence-based resources for healthcare organizations to implement mentor-driven training programs for novice nurses to bridge the gap between school and the transition to clinical practice. |
