Abstract

To assist novice nurses in making the transition into the acute care setting, a student-centered, small-group, problem-based program was developed and combined with a preceptorship program. Challenged to work through the problems, novice nurses met the program objectives while enjoying the program. Supervisors and clinical specialists working with the graduates noted increased critical thinking, increased interest and ability in seeking information, and increased problem-solving ability.
