This dataset contains de-identified qualitative survey responses collected during Phase 1 of the project Strength in Diversity: Supporting the Transition of Neurodivergent Early Career Nurses in Australia, funded through the UNE Internal Funding Scheme (2026). Phase 1 involved an online qualitative survey administered via Qualtrics with neurodivergent early career nurses (within the first five years of practice) across New South Wales, Australia. The survey explored participants' transition experiences, disclosure decisions, workplace challenges, adaptive strategies, and support needs. Participants were recruited through professional networks including the NSW Nurses and Midwives' Association (NSWNMA) and NSW Health local health districts. Data collection for Phase 1 is complete. Thematic analysis of responses will inform Phase 2 of the study, which involves semi-structured interviews with nursing managers and clinical educators. All data were collected with ethics approval and participation was voluntary and anonymous. |
