The questionnaire was The Leadership Practice Inventory, which measured five leadership practices, including; challenging the process, inspiring a shared vision, enabling others to act, modeling the way and encouraging the heart. A 10-point Likert scale measured these. Additionally, one question asked if their goals of participating in the program had been met and the answer choices were; fully, partially or not at all. There were then two qualitative open questions. What three aspects of leadership have you developed in yourself as part of this program? And how has the program changed your practice in your workplace? (Leggat,2015)

This program helped NPCs to not only achieve but articulate the clinical leadership competencies required for endorsement as a nurse practitioner in Australia (Leggat,2015).
The limitation of this study is that evaluation measures were self-reports and we couldn't evaluate organizational impact. This small sample size is also a limitation. However, findings suggest that a formal and supported mentoring program can assist NPCs to develop competence in clinical leadership (Leggat,2015).

The aim of this article is to critically examine the factors that influence the transition experiences of new NPs in Australia during their first 12 months of practice. Face to face interviews, reflective journaling, and some observations of practice was used. There were ten participants in the study that were purposefully sampled to represent different genders, specialty, and location of practice (MacLellan, …show more content…
This framework focuses on four elements, including; nature of transition, transition conditions, process and outcome indicators, and nursing therapeutics. Nature of transition refers to physical, social, emotional, or environmental changes. Transition conditions include both personal perception as well as facility beliefs. Process and outcome indicators demonstrate if the transition is successful. Nursing therapeutics are interventions to promote a healthy, holistic transition (Maten-Speksnijder,
