Dear Nursing Students 7. Dear Nursing Students, Were there times you doubted your ability to succeed in the clinical aspect? My first time in the hospital environment as a student nurse was a roller coaster of emotions. My biggest fear has always been what my colleagues or superiors will think of me if they know I don't know a procedure, drug, or instrument. Instead of asking, I decided to find out everything on my own. Well, that helped to an extent, but experience is still the best teacher. With time, I came to the realization that I was there to learn, and instead of me cowardly shying away from performing procedures because I didn't know them, I started being vocal about the things I knew and the ones I didn't. For me, practical explanations from superiors and my colleagues stayed with me longer than the best the internet could offer. Dear Nursing Students, always remember that learning is a continuous process. Make sure you effectively utilize every opportunity you have to learn. Do not let the fear of what you don't know prevent you from improving your knowledge. Dear nursing students, Have you faced similar challenges during clinical rotations? How did you overcome them?

It's time to reevaluate our expectations of nursing graduates. Are they truly not practice-ready upon graduation? A recent scoping review by Masso et al. (2022) suggests that there is no significant evidence to support this claim - but what does it even mean to be practice-ready? It's true that graduates may lack confidence during their first few months of employment. But let's not question their readiness - they have worked hard to prepare themselves for their roles and are more than ready to begin their next phase of education and formation. Instead, let's shift the conversation to whether the workplace is truly support-ready. Graduates simply need the necessary space, support, and understanding to grow into their roles. Let's work together to create a workplace environment that fosters growth and development for all nurses, regardless of their experience level.

We have nearly come to the end: of another Nurses Week and of another semester.    Moments like these call for reflection; for appreciation of the path that led us here before we walk the next mile of it. This year’s theme for Nurses Week was “Answering the Call.” As I think about what that means, I am struck by just how many examples of it I’ve seen in our senior class. We’re holding our graduating students’ reception this afternoon and I’m simply blown away by their accomplishments. Excellence in the classroom. Innovation in research. Diligent commitment to patient care during clinical rotations. These are not easy challenges for young people to take on, and yet they do so with grace and wisdom beyond their years. Nurses are often faced with moments where they must lead. They operate in rapidly changing environments with multiple priorities and sometimes limited information, all with the well-being of others at stake. It is both a duty and a privilege to be the ones to rise to that challenge. I am struck by the profound sense of purpose that our soon-to-be graduates express whenever they talk about their next steps. The word “help” comes up in every conversation I have with them. They answered the call during their time at Marquette. There’s no doubt in my mind that they will do so in the professional world too.    There’s still one thing left to do before Nurses Week concludes and it is my favorite thing: handing each of these future nurses their diploma at commencement. Thank you for all that you gave to Marquette, graduates. Go be great. 

Our recent study of early career nurses highlights self-efficacy, grit, and rural career aspirations remain stable between two- and four-years following graduation. This is positive as the challenges, growth, and developed that are encountered as an early career nurse is sufficient to not impact their capacity to provide care in challenging environments. It also highlights the student phase of the nurse’s journey represents a ripe time to stimulate their thinking about future rural employment. Capitalizing on the opportunities to expose students to diverse rural experiences as part of their training is vital before the window of opportunity to influence rural employment vastly diminishes. https://rdcu.be/dwhMc
