Abstract
New nurse graduates are expected to help relieve the current and pending massive nursing shortage anticipated in the nursing field (Goode, Reid Ponte, & Sullivan Havens, 2016). However, there is a discrepancy between evaluations of new graduate readiness and the expectation to provide competent complex care. Ninety percent of undergraduate nursing education leaders feel new graduate nurses are prepared to practice, yet 90% of hospital nurse administrators disagree. When graduate nurses participating in nurse residency programs perform self-assessments on procedural readiness, emergency management and blood product administration/transfusion are frequently in the top three skills/procedures they feel uncomfortable performing independently. Yet little is published regarding specifics within the procedure that lead to a gap in readiness to practice.
