Gillian and I were able to discuss my previous VMOSA related to my overall aims and ambitions. I shared the same things that Teresa and I discussed a week ago as well.
After some thought, we discussed another very feasible possibility. Keeping the overall research question very simple, we thought of designing a longitudinal study examining the correlation of having a job prior to or during nursing school (in particular health care related) having an effect on acquiring a job. With so many variable involved in job acquisition, this study can simply identify if having previous work experience can indirectly decrease time between graduation and employment. Previous studies have shown how previous work experience effects role transition and competence. I am still working on my literature review and will shortly post article reviews related to this new topic.
The idea fits within the scope of looking at new graduates looking for employment but the results can provide an evidence based recommendation for pre nursing students, current nursing students, and new graduates.
Participation for the study can be solicited using social media. A simple email survey can then collect the demographic and research data needed for analysis. The main questions will be graduation date vs hire date and previous work experience.
Any thoughts or comments?
