Abstract:
BACKGROUND:Nurse graduates (NGs) are ill prepared when faced with patient death and dying, despite receiving educational preparation on end-of-life (EOL) care in their prelicensure nursing programs. METHOD:This qualitative descriptive study included a convenience sample of NGs (n = 20) who experienced a first adult patient death during their first 18 months of practice at a large teaching hospital with an extensive NG transition program, including preceptor-guided orientations, nurse internship programs, and nurse residency programs. RESULTS:Six major themes described the NG experience: Navigating the Process, Not Prepared, Support, Missed Opportunities, Preparing NGs for Death and Dying, and Guiding NGs Through Practice. Critical gaps in preparation were evident across all themes. CONCLUSION:Results of this study suggest specific opportunities for improvement of NGs' readiness to effectively care for patients and families in EOL situations by increasing their exposure to death and dying experiences before graduation and during their first year of practice.
