Written by clinical lecturers, Professional Transitions in Nursing
provides a practical and accessible guide to the core knowledge and
skills required by nurse graduates entering the Australian
workforce for the first time. Part I focuses on the structure of
the Australian healthcare system and the national competency
standards. The authors examine key issues including ethics, law and
codes of conduct as well as the leadership, team-building and
communication skills necessary in a constantly changing and
high-pressure environment. Part II outlines the clinical skills and
practices a nurse graduate must master including clinical
assessment, risk management and reporting, management plans,
diagnostics reasoning, collaboration with other health
professionals and working with patients from diverse backgrounds. A
special feature is an analysis of issues in Aboriginal and Torres
Strait Islander nursing practice. The authors also outline health
information systems and technologies and how to utilise these most
effectively. Part III looks at career planning and lifelong
learning with advice on applying for a nursing position and
continual professional development. This is an essential reference
for both nursing graduates and overseas qualified nurses seeking to
pursue a career in Australia. 'This text will be of tremendous use
to new graduate nurses, nurses relocating from overseas and those
of us who support these nurses during their transitions. The
language is easily accessible and important content about everyday
nursing practice is discussed in a practical and logical way. A
particular strength is the use of research to support key points of
discussion.' Professor Andrea Marshall, Professor of Acute and
Complex Care Nursing, Griffith University 'This book is a must-have
for undergraduates, newly graduated and overseas qualified
registered nurses entering the Australian healthcare workforce for
the first time. Written by experienced nurses, the book provides
essential up-to-date information that is presented in an easily
accessible way. I highly recommend this book.' Associate Professor
Jacqueline Bloomfield, Sydney Nursing School, University of Sydney
'For educators supporting student, new graduate and international
graduate nurses, this text will be an important resource and is
superbly structured to guide curriculum development and delivery.'
Dr Danny Hills, Senior Lecturer, School of Nursing and Midwifery,
Monash University
