IntroductionThe shortage of nurses is projected to grow, and the number of new graduate nurses (NGNs) who are predicted to replace expert nurses has increased. Meanwhile, those NGNs leaving their job within the first year, give various reasons for leaving, including workplace bullying and violence. In response, some hospitals and universities have developed nurse transition programmes such as nurse residency programmes and nurse internship programmes to attract NGNs and to assist in their changing status from education to practice. Although these programmes have been successful in decreasing the turnover rate for new nurses and are cost-effective, their impact on workplace bullying and violence has not been systematically reviewed and is yet to be determined. A scoping review will be conducted to address this gap. The aim is to identify current knowledge regarding the content of transition programmes and their impact in supporting NGNs dealing with workplace violence, bullying and stress.Methods and analysisArksey and O’Malley’s scoping framework and the Joanna Briggs Institute scoping review guidance will guide the methodology process of the review. Published studies, with no date limit, will be identified through the electronic databases (CINAHL, Scopus, MEDLINE, Web of Science, ASSIA, PsycINFO, Embase, PROSPERO and ProQuest Dissertation) and reference lists. Primary key terms will be ‘novice nurse’, ‘new graduate nurses’ and ‘transition programmes’. Two reviewers, guided by standardised procedures, will perform the study selection process independently. Data from the selected studies will be extracted using a data extraction form. Thematic analysis (for qualitative papers) and descriptive summary of the results (for quantitative papers) will be performed.Ethics and disseminationEthical approval is not required for this review. Findings will be used to inform future study designs to evaluate the transition programmes and disseminated via peer-reviewed journals and conferences.

Over the past few decades, researchers have been exploring the cause and effects of incivility in the nursing profession. With the nursing shortage on the rise, organizations are focused on decreased retention rates and the impact on patient outcomes and organizational costs. In order to assess and evaluate the current literature on incivility toward new nurses and its’ impact on retention, an integrative review was conducted. The purpose of this project was to evaluate incivility toward new graduate nurses and the impact incivility has on career retention. The Theory of Planned Behaviour was the framework used to guide this review. The CINAHL database search revealed 26 articles; the PRISMA flow chart was used to document the search path. Five articles met the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The included articles were reviewed using Polit&Beck’s literature review; quantitative research and qualitative research report guidelines. A cross-literature analysis was then conducted to identify common themes and key findings. The review revealed that incivility continues to greatly influence new nurses’ intentions to leave their current positions and possibly the profession. The numbers of articles was limited but were of high quality and provided sound data that revealed the impact of incivility on new graduate nurses and their retention intentions. In conclusion, incivility is under-addressed and under-recognized as a cause of decreased job satisfaction and retention. Further research should evaluate the effectiveness of empowerment, education programs, zero tolerance, and behavioral accountability in decreasing the incidence and impact of incivility. Advance Practice Registered Nurses (APRNs) can role model and support nurses to be accountable for their behaviors and can teach team building skills to build a zero-tolerance civil work environment.
