Purpose: The purpose of this study is to explore the turnover experience of nurses who moved from a tertiary medical institution to a general hospital and to understand the meaning of the move for them. Methods: This is a phenomenological qualitative study using Colaizzi's (1978) method. Semi-structured, open-ended questions and in-depth interviews were conducted to 11 nurses within 3 years after turnover to a general hospital at a tertiary medical institution, between April, 2018 to September, 2018. Results: The four theme clusters and thirteen themes emerged. The core theme licited I was “the journey to find-balance and leave.” Four theme clusters were; “advance to a dream job”, including ‘expectation for my work’, ‘my confidence and family pride’, “unstable my dream job” including ‘stand alone in a desert’, ‘crushed by extra work’, ‘torn protection’, ‘invisible future’, “my job that I wish to keep” including ‘unconditional patience for growth’, “I can't be a loser” is desperate selfinspiration’, ‘leaning on comfort and support', and finally “my place I found again.” including ‘being prepared to be by my side’, ‘restoring work-life balance’, ‘revealed my existence’, and ‘unsatisfied with new work’. Conclusion: Participants choose of turnover for physical and psychological well-being, instead of the romance of the tertiary medical institution. This showed the characteristics of the millennial generation that values the comfort and relaxation in one's life prior to professional vision of nursing care as a nurse, and success. The result is meaningful as an understanding of effective job management for current-generation clinical nurses.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to describe nurses' experiences of patient safety incidents. Methods: Data were collected from June 1 to August 31, 2019 through in-depth interviews with 10 nurses who worked in tertiary hospitals. Data were analyzed using Braun & Clarke’s thematic analysis method. Results: Four themes and eighteen sub-themes emerged as follows. ‘Falls resulted in fatal consequences, the importance of precaution education’, ‘Errors occurred due to incompliance to verification protocol’, ‘Responsibility for catching other people's errors’, ‘Hospital environment from the viewpoint of patient safety’. Conclusion: The findings provided valuable information on the nurses’ experiences of patient safety incidents, which may have serious consequences and are not easily addressed. Programs to prevent patient safety incidents and systems to guard against these incidents should be established. Organizational safety culture also needs to be improved.

Purpose: Compassion is often entangled with similar concepts such as empathy, sympathy and pity. The purpose of this study is to understand and to distinguish compassion from empathy, sympathy and pity as a concept. Methods: We compared three similar concepts such as empathy, sympathy and pity, to compassion theoretically in order to distinguish each of the differences from similarities with literary reviews. Results: We have derived six key features of compassion as follow. First, objects of compassion are the individuals who have experienced suffering. Second, compassion encompasses the relativity of suffering. Third, compassion must be connected with action. Fourth, the main purpose of the compassionate act is to transmit compassionate feeling to others. Fifth, a relatively accurate understanding for others precedes compassionate act. Sixth, compassion is based on other-oriented emotion. Conclusion: Based on the above results, compassion can be a useful concept to reduce employee’s suffering in the organization.

Purpose: Despite the effort to bridge the disconnect between educational preparation of competent nurses and employers' expectation of new graduates, there is little known about what nursing competencies are required for new graduates. This paper aims to identify the nursing competencies expected of new graduates, both globally and in the specific Korean context. Methods: An integrative literature review was undertaken. International and Korean computerised databases were searched and 72 relevant papers were appraised using the Mixed Methods Appraisal Tool and the Data Relevance. Twenty-eight studies were selected for final data analysis. Results: Three themes with eleven competency areas were discovered: new graduates are expected to be competent in delivering an evidence-based practice with a patient-centered approach as professional nurses. Competency in evidence-based practice involves being able to integrate theory and skills, utilise contemporary evidence, and undertake a systematic approach. Patient-centred care involves ensuring patient safety, educating the patient and their family, and demonstrating sound interpersonal communication skills with a collaborative approach. New graduates are also expected to practice legal and ethical nursing care, undertake continuing professional development, and demonstrate a capacity for clinical management and appropriate professional attributes. Conclusion: Identifying nursing competencies for new graduates can add a level of detail to the current nursing competencies required for new graduates in the global and the Korean context. The findings can be used not only to inform education providers of potential gaps in preparation for practice of new graduates, but also be used to identify support needed when graduates enter nursing workforce.
