Abstract
Background: Nurses must be skilled in time management to anticipate problems, recognize a change in patient condition, and reprioritize when needed. A member of the nursing education and professional development team rounds on all newly licensed nurses upon hire. Data obtained from these rounds during September 2023 through May 2024, indicated 64% of newly licensed nurses identified time management as a challenge. Review of new graduate nurse residency program evaluations along with rounding data supported the need for an educational experience dedicated to time management skills specific to the newly licensed nurse population.
Purpose: The purpose of this study includes identifying if a supplemental session increases time management skills in newly licensed nurses based on the Nursing Time Management Scale, analyze the progression of time management over a designated period, and determine any potential correlations between key demographic nursing indicators and time management skills.
Method: This quantitative, non-experimental, longitudinal study uses a survey design. This multi-site study requires participants to attend a one-time time management supplemental session and complete the Nursing Time Management Scale pre/post session and one-month post-session.
Results: Preliminary data from the 13 attendees show marked improvement in all time management components from the initial session through post-session:
• Planning Component: Increase from 3.33 to 4.0
• Coordination Component: Increase from 3.70 to 4.0
• Organization Component: Increase from 4.06 to 4.24
Findings suggest considerable improvements in time management following the session.
Conclusions: Preliminary data demonstrates the implementation of a supplemental time management session in newly licensed nurses improves time management skills as demonstrated by an increase in scoring of the three components in the Nursing Time Management Scale. Future plans include expanding the offering to nurses across the enterprise.
