This article discusses the challenge that educators have in assessing competency in APRN students, particularly with simulation.

Talks about the emotional roller coaster than transitioning can cause but also recognizes that there are resources and they need to be utilized.

This article looks at the evidence to describe what goes on when RNs transition to become FNPs. Transition begins during school- students should be aware of the challenges present in transition and be prepared for them. J Prof Nurs. 2013 Nov-Dec;29(6):350-8. doi: 10.1016/j.profnurs.2012.10.011.

"I have come to believe that one of the hallmarks of a great midwifery practice is ability to integrate new midwives."

This article discusses the role of preceptorship in preparing APRNs for their future professional roles. The article describes preceptorship as a liminal spaces that the student moves through in the process of becoming a professional.

This is an article that discusses possible frameworks for phases of transition from student RN to becoming an FNP. With the limited research that has been done in the area it is difficult to know exactly how to support students in their transition to be a provider, but this is a foundation which can be built upon.

Transitioning from a Student to Nurse Midwife

Describes how new advanced practice providers feel as they make the transition from being a student. There's a period called the "impostor phenomenon" where they feel they are not really an advanced practitioner, but simply appear to be one.

Recruiters reveal how to respond to the most complicated questions.

The following is the abstract as stated by the author: "Purpose: To describe factors that ensure a smooth transition from nurse practitioner (NP) student to independent NP during the first year of practice. Data sources: Two contrasting case examples, the authors' experiences, and selected professional literature. Conclusions: Key points to consider upon searching or taking a first NP job include patient, colleague, and clinic factors. Patient factors include mix of patient presentations, complexity of patient presentations, insurance status, and population. Colleague factors include mentorship, charting, mix of providers, and availability of providers. Perhaps most importantly, clinic factors include productivity expectations, practice mission, charting systems, on-call requirements, supervision of other staff, and teaching status. Together, these factors can largely determine whether an NP's days are satisfying or frustrating in a new job. Implications for practice: The transition from NP student to independent NP can be daunting. Although nursing schools and practice sites have responsibilities to ensure the transition is smooth, the new NP is ultimately responsible for the transition. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]"

An article examining the effectiveness of high fidelity simulation on preparing APRN students for practice.

I'm curious about how my first few clinical days will turn out!

An interesting article that opines about the DNP. Here's a fairly provocative quote: "When viewed together, doctorally prepared nurses do not spend the majority of their time in direct patient care, but rather in research (11%), education (32%), and administration (30%). With these demanding roles, they cannot be expected to maintain expert levels of clinical competence required for teaching APN students. While research and practice are critical components of nursing, each requires a different skill set and education."

The Mayo clinic offers a form of residency for new grads. Mayo School of Health Sciences educates and prepares allied health professionals. The school enrolls students who excel in academic achievement to become providers of the best care to patients.

Hi i'm not sure that I posted on this site correctly... this article explores how relationships between midwives can impact student success in transitioning to the role of a CNM. :) -molly jobe

Here's a good, quick article that gives tips for the transition from RN/student to an APRN in the workplace.

This article is about a study that sought to describe the process necessary for a successful transition of the student nurse to a professional, as well as what kind of support system enables this progression. It focused more on what was more likely to aid in a student's success. One of the study's implications was the importance of an overall support system with specific concern for appropriate training for those who provide direct clinical education.

This article followed 9 female FNP from student to practitioner. Enjoy.
