Description
Shannon McNamara and co-authors set out a 2026 protocol for studying how nurses in Quebec move into nurse practitioner roles. New practitioners who feel unready can struggle with solo decisions and job satisfaction.
The plan uses a cross-sectional survey of nurse practitioners in their first post for under twelve months, in English and French versions. At least 50 respondents will complete a role transition scale covering mentoring, purpose, confidence, and pay. Simple regression will test which factors track with smoother transitions. Results should help schools and employers shape support for the first year in the role.
