Impact of Pathways to Practice Programs on nursing students post graduate career choice

Research output: Other contribution to conferenceAbstractpeer-review

Abstract

The nursing profession is experiencing a critical skill shortage. A major factor is the extremely high
turnover rate of graduate nurses. Whilst there are many factors impacting this, preparedness to
practice is cited as a major contributor. The research hypothesis is that better quality clinical
placements during undergraduate nursing degrees assists with preparation for practice and would
decrease attrition significantly. Current work being undertaken by the Chief Nursing and
Midwifery Office, is investigating reasons and solutions for this high rate of attrition and an
improved placement model is one area being considered.

OtherThe ACEN Conference Committee together with the ACEN Board are pleased to announce the 2024 ACEN Conference will take place on 21 & 22 October 2024 in Sydney/Eora, Australia. The conference will be held at the Sofitel Sydney Wentworth, perfectly located in the heart of the CBD. This iconic Sydney luxury hotel is known as the best conference venue in Sydney and we can’t wait to see you there!

The ACEN Conference is focused on creating networking and professional learning opportunities to promote quality and excellence in WIL. We welcome participation from practitioners and researchers from the tertiary education sector, industry, community and government representatives, involved in work integrated learning (WIL), collaborative education and career development learning in Australia and beyond.

As we continue to explore and advance our understanding of the nature and impact of quality WIL in practice, the ACEN 2024 conference provides an excellent opportunity to learn and network with like-minded colleagues. The future world of work will provide significant challenges and opportunities for our students, and quality WIL experience throughout the learning journey is paramount to enhancing graduate employability.

The four conference sub-themes align to the standards in the framework to support assurance of institution-wide quality in WIL and include: Quality Student WIL Experiences; Quality WIL Curriculum Design; Quality Institutional Practice, Leadership, Governance, and WIL Administrative Support; and Quality Stakeholder Engagement.

We look forward to welcoming national and international colleagues to share and combine our collective knowledge and experience towards advancing impactful quality WIL for all students.
