Using a mixed method design, an assessment of the learning needs of\&nbsp;new\&nbsp;graduate\&nbsp;nurses\&nbsp;(NGNs) working in\&nbsp;rural\&nbsp;hospitals in Alberta, Canada, was undertaken. NGNs in\&nbsp;rural\&nbsp;practice indicated that they struggle with becoming "multispecialists." Consequently, administrators and nurse educators need to tailor workplace structures by establishing collaborative programs with urban facilities and using orientation tailored to the learning needs of NGNs.},
