abstract: 'Background: Securing employment after qualification is of utmost
importance to newly qualified nurses to consolidate knowledge and
skills. The factors that influence success in gaining this first post
are not known.
Objectives: The study aimed to describe the first post gained after
qualification in terms of setting, nature of employment contract and
geographical distribution and explore the relationship between a range
of factors (including ethnicity) and employment at the point of
qualification.
Design: An exploratory study using structured questionnaires and
secondary analysis of data routinely collected by the universities about
students and their progress during their course.
Settings: The study was conducted in eight universities within a large,
multicultural city in the UK as part of the `Readiness for Work''
research programme.
Participants: Eight hundred and four newly qualified nurses who had
successfully completed a diploma or degree from one of the universities;
a response rate of 77\% representing 49\% of all graduating students in
the study population.
Methods: Data were collected by self-completed semi-structured
questionnaires administered to students at the time of qualification and
at three months post-qualification. Routinely collected data from the
universities were also collected.
Results: Fifty two percent of participants had been offered a job at the
point of qualification (85\% of those who had applied and been
interviewed). Of these, 99\% had been offered a nursing post, 88\% in
the city studied, 67\% in the healthcare setting where they had
completed a course placement. 44\% felt ``confident{''''} and 32\% ``very
confident{''''} about their employment prospects. Predictors of employment
success included ethnicity, specialty of nursing and university
attended. Predictors of confidence and preparedness for job seeking
included ethnicity, nursing specialty, gender and grade of degree. Newly
qualified nurses from non-White/British ethnic groups were less likely
to get a job and feel confident about and prepared for job seeking.
Conclusions: This study has demonstrated that ethnicity does lead to
employment disadvantage for newly qualified nurses. This is an important
contribution towards recognizing and describing the evidence so that
appropriate responses and interventions can be developed. It is
important that universities and healthcare institutions work closely
together to support students at this important time in their nursing
career. (C) 2012 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.'
