INTRODUCTION
Recently, there has been a growing concern on the effort and resources invested on training yet its impact has not been positively reflected in the clinical settings (Callais, 2006; Chen et al, 2005; Clarke, 2002; Curry et al, 1994; Drewitt, 2008; Fitzerald, 2002; Harber & Sullivian, 2002; Merriam & Leahy, 2005)This has accentuated to Nurse Educators that despite having a well designed structured orientation programme especially for the newly graduated Registered Nurses (RN), the translation of knowledge and skills have not been evident in the clinical areas.

To close the gap, the authors hope to examine perceptions of the newly graduated Registered Nurses (RNs) have on their transfer of learning from classroom to the clinical areas based on the identified barriers. Concurrently, they will also aspire to explore the effectiveness of the proposed strategies that could impact their transfer of learning during their clinical setting which will ultimately be translated to benefit their patients that they are caring for and the organisation.
LITERATURE REVIEW

to them.
It is indeed critical to investigate, in the nursing context, to explore if the newly graduated RNs will be able to transfer their learning to level three, which is commonly refer to as transference of learning (Kirkpatrick, 1975). However, in the classroom sessions, the Nurse Educators will usually only be able to assess the learning to level two, which is commonly known in learning taxonomy as just a recall. Curry et al (1999) elaborated that level three transfer will be more realistic and meaningful (Calais, 2006) in the working profession, as manifested by the transfer of the newly learnt knowledge and skills from the classroom to the actual work environment. Therefore, it is the same expectation on the learning outcomes for the newly Registered Nurses to assess if learning in the classroom sessions must be transferred to the genuine ward environment so that ultimately their patients will benefit in receiving safe and competent care. However, in the quest to enhance effective transfer of learning, there are some prevailing evidences in many literatures that spelled out the potential barriers that could hinder the effective transfer of learning and the study will aim to explore if those potential barriers are present in the Nursing context.
Many literatures mentioned that there are three major components that influence positive transfer. They are (a) the learners’ characteristics, (b) training design and delivery characteristics, and (c) workplace or organisational environment characteristics (Merriam & Leahy, 2005; Calias, 2006; Drewitt, 2008; Subedi, 2004).

DATA ANALYSIS
The data collected will be coded, summarised and analysed using the computer software-Statistical Package for Social Sciences for Windows (SPSSWIN) version 17.0 to determine the nominal level of measurement. Descriptive statistics on socio-demographic scores and the details of the LTSI will be analysed. The effectiveness of the strategies suggested with the outcome of the LTSI will also be examined using the paired t test as comparison will be done to paired data. Individual scores for each segment will be analysed. Besides, linear regression will be used to explore the other potential interventions that could influence the outcome on transfer of learning.
