Application of job competence guided standardized training for new entry nurses

Objective To evaluate the application of job competence guided standardized training for new nurses. Methods A total of 28 nurses received traditional training (experienced nurses trained new nurses) as control group for new recruited nurses in 2012, and 28 new entry nurses in 2013 underwent job competence guided standardized training as experimental group. We compared passed rates of bedside comprehensive ability and scores in two groups nurses before and after training. Results Before pre-service training, the passed rates of bedside comprehensive ability was 7.14% in two groups, and increased to 92.86% after training. After training, the score of experimental group was (83.48±9.86) comparing with (79.47±8.91) in the control group (t=4.45, P<0.01). Conclusions Pre-service training plays a important role in improving nurses′ bedside comprehensive ability, and job competence guided standardized training is more effective than traditional training for new entry nurses.
