Abstract

The transition of new graduates into the workplace is a concern of nursing practice and education and the development of metacognitive critical thinking skills would facilitate this transition. Aims of this study were to: (a) describe the extent that self-regulated learning strategies could be prompted during precepted clinical experiences of associate and baccalaureate degree new graduate nurses, (b) determine if self-regulated learning strategies could be increased over time, and (c) evaluate differences in self-regulated strategy use among subsets of nurses. A comparative descriptive design was used to examine data written in journals during a 110-midweek preceptorship program.
