Abstract

This non-experimental, retrospective study explored the relationship between individual characteristics of registered nurses, characteristics of new graduate nurse transition programs and clinical leadership skill in a cohort of registered nurses with up to two years of clinical experience. The conceptual framework for this study was based on Benner's Novice to Expert model. Independent variables for individual characteristics of registered nurses included age, primary nursing degree, previous leadership experience, previous healthcare experience and months of clinical experience as a registered nurse.
