Implication

Cross-sectional study identifies key predictors of work readiness in newly graduated nurses, suggesting prior clinical experience and placement duration enhance professional transition.

Key Points

To evaluate self-perceived work readiness and determine associated personal and educational factors among nurses who completed their training and graduated during a pandemic.
Descriptive, cross-sectional survey of newly graduated registered nurses (N = 206) recruited between November 2022 and June 2023 across a public health service in Victoria, Australia.
Work readiness across four domains—personal work characteristics, work competence, social intelligence, and organisational acumen—was assessed using multiple regression and hierarchical logistic regression models.
Prior Australian nursing experience significantly predicted personal work characteristics (β = 0.16, p = 0.037), whereas overseas registered nurse experience predicted work competence (β = 0.14, p = 0.049) and native English status was negatively associated with work competence (β = -0.15, p = 0.032).
Organisational acumen was significantly predicted by female sex (95% CI 1.75 to 13.21, p = 0.002) and longer duration of final clinical placement (95% CI 1.02 to 1.59, p = 0.033).
