Description

The purpose of this paper is to provide an overview of the Transitional Practise Model, which was used as the educational learning program to guide the transition of two Saudi nurses from an acute inpatient environment into a community setting. This model was informed by Benner's "novice to expert" concept and is grounded in experiential learning and critical thinking. The aim was to enhance knowledge and skills by providing opportunities for learning in order to make an effective transition from an acute inpatient environment into community nursing. The model was effective in guiding and bridging the gap for nurses to undertake a transition from a hospital inpatient environment into a community setting. The use of preceptors was invaluable in providing an understanding of the nature of professional practise through learning opportunities, mentoring, and support.

These databases contain citations from different subsets of available publications and different time periods and thus the citation count from each is usually different. Some works are not in either database and no count is displayed. Scopus includes citations from articles published in 1996 onwards, and Web of Science® generally from 1980 onwards.
