| AbstractList | Eight nursing students kept diaries during their transition from school to professional work. Common problems included management of paperwork, heavy workload, difficulty feeling relaxed when off duty, difficulty in determining what to delegate and when to call for doctors, and tending to seriously ill patients. (SK) The purpose of this study was to investigate the transition from a 3-year nursing programme to a professional role as a nurse. Eight subjects kept diaries during 2 months. Data were recorded in a notebook and categorization of data was based on interpretation by two independent persons. Results are presented in relation to the different categories which became evident from the diaries. A common problem for newly registered nurses was the management of paperwork. The more administrative work the nurses had, the less time they were able to spend on patient-oriented activities. Generally, the nurses felt uncertain about care of patients with serious illnesses. All the nurses experienced a high workload and also reported difficulties in feeling relaxed during their off-duty time. Additional difficulties encountered included knowing the kind of tasks they were able to delegate to assistant nurses, and deciding on when it would be appropriate to call for a physician. Further research is needed to provide a better understanding of the relevance of nurse education for the management of the work situations encountered by newly registered nurses. Research in Sweden. [(BNI unique abstract)] 16 references Investigates the transition from a 3-year nursing programme to a professional role as a nurse. 8 subjects kept diaries during 2 months. Data were recorded in a notebook and categorization of data was based on interpretation by 2 independent persons.
