Description

<p>Purpose: The purpose of this study is to clarify how nurses, who graduated two years ago, had grown through their nursing practice.</p><p>Method: We recruited as research collaborators eight nurses, who were between the end of their second year after graduation and the beginning of their third year. We analyzed all the data we obtained from semi-structured interviews.</p><p>Results: Nurses in the 2nd year “felt the ability to cope” through “a mixture of confused inexperience and freedom” early in the 2nd year. After that stage, they experienced multiple times a process of “becoming empowered to overcome fear” by “confronting their lack of abilities” through facing new challenges. As a result, they were able to reach “the feeling of overcoming fear” and “the feeling of becoming a team member”. In the end, they achieved “readiness for the 3rd year”. In addition, growth of nurses through the year had been “supported by their seniors” during this 2nd year.</p><p>Conclusions: It was found that nurses in the 2nd year looked ahead to the 3rd year of their careers and noticed the growth they had achieved by trying to overcome many challenges themselves, through the period of anxiety experienced early in the 2nd year. We understood, therefore, that the provision as appropriate of both challenge and support by senior nurses had been very important for growth of nurses in the 2nd year.</p>
