The Revised Casey-Fink Graduate Nurse Experience Survey 2023

OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to psychometrically test the Casey-Fink Graduate Nurse Experience Survey (CFGNES) 2023. BACKGROUND Graduate nurse transition into professional practice is challenging and can lead to turnover. Measurement of role transition experiences, relevant to concerns of today's graduate nurses, is needed. METHODS A panel of experts assessed content validity. Psychometric properties were tested with responses of 426 graduate nurses. Evaluation included exploratory factor analysis to determine construct validity and internal consistency reliability. RESULTS The final analysis identified 7 factors consisting of 41 items accounting for 42% of the variance. An additional subscale evaluates the preceptorship aspect of role transition. The final instrument includes a 25-item skills assessment. CONCLUSIONS The CFGNES 2023 is a valid and reliable instrument to measure graduate nurse role transition experiences.
