  • Purpose: This study aimed to describe nurses' experience in transition from new graduate nurses to professional clinical nursees in a hospital. Methods: Ten new clinical nurses working in a hospital participated in this study. Data collected through in-depth interviews were analyzed using phenomenology. Results: The analysis yielded five core category themes from new nurses for becoming a professional nurse: (a) beginning of hardship journey (b) feeling of inability in workplace (c) struggling hard to develop skills (d) enduring hardships by soothing oneself and peer support (e) beginning of an exciting journey. Conclusion: Over time, new nurses face many difficulties in transition to a professional status. To enhance the role development of new clinical nurses in hospital settings, nursing schools and clinical fields must teach and prepare them. Nursing schools should teach a strong theoretical base as well as nursing skills. In addition, in the clinical nursing department, education, teaching the integrated systems, staff development, support, evaluation, and feedback are needed for new nurses's development.

  • Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of new nurse's resilience, emotional labor, and organizational socialization on clinical competence. Method: The subjects were 182 new nurses. The IBM SPSS 23.0 program was used for data analysis with the significance level set at .05. Results: Clinical competence was significantly different according to the number of nurses, hospitals where practiced, and nurse image (p <.05). Clinical competence showed a significant correlation with resilience (r = .50) and emotional labor (r = .62) (p <.001). Significant factors influencing clinical competence of new nurses were resilience(β = .567) and emotional labor(β = .332), with a total explanatory power of 50.5% (p <.001). Conclusion: There is a need for a program to improve the clinical competence of new nurses considering influencing factors.
