Strategies for Supporting Transition from Student Nurse to Graduate Registered Nurse ...

Assessment Task 1 Overview

Transitioning to professional practice is a critical phase for the novice registered nurse. The transition period from student to registered nurse can be filled with many challenges. During this transition phase, graduate registered nurses are expected to demonstrate the knowledge, skills, and attitudes associated with the profession while adjusting to the “real world” of nursing. There is also an expectation that graduate registered nurses will begin to demonstrate clinical leadership capabilities when working in the Australian health care environment. Provide a critical analysis of current literature when answering the following questions:
