This study was conducted to examinate the mediating effect of clinical competence on the relationship between grit and retention intention among new graduate nurses. Participants were 232 nurses working at hospitals with over 300 beds in Korea. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, t-test, one-way ANOVA, Pearson's correlation coefficients, and multiple regression following the Baron and Kenny method and Sobel test for mediation. As a result, There were significant relationships between grit and clinical competence(r=.38, p=.011), grit and retention intention(r=.32, p=.016), and clinical competence and retention intention(r=.33, p<.001). Clinical competence showed partial mediating effect in the relationship between grit and retention intention(z=3.14, p<.001). The results of this study suggest that interventions enhancing grit would be useful to improve retention intention of new graduate nurses.

This study aims to examine the effect of coaching leadership on reality shock and organizational commitment of new nurses in general hospitals. Data were analyzed through the SPSS/WIN 21.0 program using descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA, Pearson's correlation coefficients, and Standard Multiple Regression. Regression analysis proved relevance of the organizational commitment model (F=6.17, p<.001), and coaching leadership had 39.2% explanatory power on reality shock. The results of the study showed that coaching leadership lowers reality shock and boosts organizational commitment of new nurses. This study provides necessary background knowledge of human and material resource management to alleviate the reality shock and help vocational adaptation to reduce turnover rates of new nurses. Hence, with such results, this study aims to provide basic information on future coaching leadership research and coaching leader defense program developments.

The purpose of this study was to identify factors influencing intention to stay among new graduate nurses. The participants were 127 new graduate nurses working at A University hospital in Gyeonggi Province. Data were analyzed by descriptive statistics, independent t-test, one-way ANOVA, Pearson's correlation coefficient, and multiple regression. The results showed that job satisfaction, reality shock, working period, and resilience were significant predictors of intention to stay and explained for 44.2% of the variance in intention to stay. The findings of this study suggest that interventions focusing on reducing the reality shock through pre-experiences or trainings in clinical situations and enhancing the resilience are needed to improve intention to stay for the new graduate nurses. Also it is necessary to establish a support system and work environment to improve nursing job satisfaction, and a long-term education program of more than 6 months is needed to help new nurses adapt to work.

In this study, authors predicted probability of resignation of newly employed nurses using TensorFlow, an open source software library for numerical computation and machine learning developed by Google, and suggested strategic human resources management plan. Data of 1,018 nurses who resigned between 2010 and 2017 in single university hospital were collected. After the order of data were randomly shuffled, 80% of total data were used for machine leaning and the remaining data were used for testing purpose. We utilized multiple neural network with one input layer, one output layer and 3 hidden layers. The machine-learning algorithm correctly predicted for 88.7% of resignation of nursing staff with in one year of employment and 79.8% of that within 3 years of employment. Most of resigned nurses were in their late 20s and 30s. Leading causes of resignation were marriage, childbirth, childcare and personal affairs. However, the most common cause of resignation of nursing staff with in one year of employment were maladaptation to the work and problems in interpersonal relationship.

This study was designed to evaluate the current orientation and further to develop an effective orientation curriculum of new nurses by analyzing questionraire taken from 45 numbers of all nurses who have worked for 18 months below at one hospital located in C city on July, 1995. The results obtained are summarized as follows. 1. The subjects showed the high necessity of "emergency nursing", "cardiopulmunary resuscitation", "disinfection and infection" and "interpersonal relationship" in order, but relatively low necessity of "doctor supports" and "medical insurance affair" for the practical orientation. Therefore, the orientation should provide prepondently an education Which they really need, on the basis of their education experiences and/or requirements. 2. Practical training, individual teaching and performance will be an effective orientation more than theorical education. The educator should be selected from unit based persons being capable of providing technical education to trainee. Also, in order to develop the teaching method and to improve the corresponding ability, a special program is required for educators. 3. It will be desirable that task training is given at least one month before working at their unit. In addition, orientation schedule should be made to concentrate trainee on their task training fully. 4. The subjects showed that half of them had spent four to six months for work adaptation. A meeting of new nurses may be helpful not only to acclimate themselves to new circumstances. but also to provide an exchange of views and an emotional relationship. Furthermore, unit based staffs should exerts efforts to maintain the educational circumstances and warm concern for new nurse's adaptation.

Method: A descriptive design was used with convenience sampling of 292 novice nurses in 2 hospitals with 500 beds and 214 student nurses from 4 universities. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire. Results: 1) The total score for frequency of nursing practice was $2.58{\pm}0.41$ and for the importance of nursing practice was $3.03{\pm}0.36$ in novice nurses and in student nurses the frequency score was $2.66{\pm}0.69$ and the total score for importance was $3.24{\pm}0.35$. 2) The total score for frequency was not different between novice and student nurses, but 9 of the top 10 categories in order of frequency were significantly different. 3) The score for importance between novice nurses and student nurses was significantly different with the student nurses having higher scores than the novice nurses. 4) Frequency scores were not different for students in universities compared to students in community colleges. Conclusion: Novice nurses perform skills associated with medication, but student nurses do not and therefore do not recognize the importance of these skills. Education in nursing needs to identify strategies to strengthen practice in this vulnerable area.
