Abstract
Aim
To explore what is known about the lived experiences of novice nurse educators, including preparation or support strategies that may assist this transition.
Background
Despite the crucial role of nurse educators in healthcare, the literature lacks clarity about the role and the preparation and support of nurse clinicians to transition into novice nurse educator roles.
Design
Scoping review
Methods
A scoping review was carried out according to the Joanna Briggs Institute Methodology for Scoping Reviews. The Cumulative Index of Nursing and Allied Health Literature Complete (CINAHL), Medline (OVID), EMBASE, APA PsycINFO and Google Scholar databases were searched for English language sources of evidence between 1992 and 2022. Sources of evidence related to nursing education, transition, lived experience, preparation and support were included.
Results
Fifty-two sources of evidence met the inclusion criteria with most originating in the United States and situated in the academic setting. There were 20 different titles used to identify nurse educators and a lack of clarity relating to the role and its expectations. There was alignment found between the lived experiences of novice nurse educators and Duchscher’s transition shock model with a variety of preparation and support recommendations identified to mitigate this transition shock.
Conclusion
Clinical nurses transitioning into novice nurse educator roles have a predominantly negative experience that aligns with Duchscher’s transition shock model. Although recommendations exist for support and preparation strategies to ease this transition shock, further research is required to establish which of these strategies are effective, especially for novice nurse educators in clinical settings outside of the United States.
