Summary: The aim of this study was to develop and test a shortened 37-item Chinese Work Readiness Scale for Graduate Nurse while maintaining its reliability and validity. Two cross-sectional studies were conducted with newly graduated nurses in China. The optimal test assembly procedure identified a 17-item version and a 9-item version that are both appropriate for assessing registered nurses' work readiness, with the 9-item version requiring more subjects to compensate for reduced information.

Summary: Clinical trials are becoming more complex, making it difficult for clinical nurses and providers to access investigational safety profiles when participants need clinical care. Wearable devices are now used to obtain participant data and safety information. The preclinical nurse-nurse communication framework, based on feasibility and prototype studies, guides clinical nurses in communicating safety-related trial information to provide appropriate patient care. This framework incorporates communication and information theories to support clinical nurse awareness of trial-related wearable devices and the importance of engaging with research nurses, patients, and caregivers.

Summary: Energy transition plays a crucial role in mitigating global warming, but it often encounters resistance from residents living near energy infrastructure. This resistance stems from complex factors such as emotional ties and stereotypical perceptions of the landscape. This study utilizes a neopragmatic approach, combining conflict theory and the framing approach, to develop an analytical framework for understanding and addressing these conflicts at both the individual and societal levels.

Summary: The objective of this integrative literature review is to identify strategies that help newly qualified midwives transition successfully from midwifery student to confident, competent practitioners. Mentorship or preceptorship by experienced midwives, supernumerary time, designated study days, planned rotations, smaller teams providing continuity of care, and online support and learning are all found to enhance the transition experience. However, the structure of maternity care is crucial to the success of these strategies.

Summary: This study discusses why the generalist scope of practice of remote area nurses should be recognized as a specialist nursing practice. The results show that remote area nursing requires different knowledge and skills compared to other nursing practice settings. By developing clinical knowledge and skill across the primary health care spectrum through multidisciplinary collaboration, the availability of health resources and access to care for remote communities can be improved.

Summary: The study aims to understand the practice readiness of early career registered nurses in very remote hospitals during their first five years of practice. The findings suggest that early career nurses do not feel ready for employment in remote areas, while later career nurses emphasize the importance of critical care placements for preparedness in rural settings. Organizational support, adequate staffing, and structured orientation are key to supporting and developing practice readiness.

Summary: This article provides a systematic review and thematic synthesis of interventions to increase retention of early career nurses during the pre-registration period. The results suggest that some interventions may lead to increased retention, but the conclusions are limited by the quality of reporting and scarcity of data. It is recommended to consider maximizing students' exposure to clinical practice and the potential benefits of interventions with alternative approaches such as psychological wellbeing programs.
