Question

With the increased complexity of the health care environment, new graduates struggle with the transition into clinical practice. This matter is related to several issues: sicker patient in an increasingly complex health care setting, the shortened gap between taking the NCLEX and being licensed, variable transition experiences, increased patient workload due to the nursing shortage, high job stress and turnover rates in new graduate RNs (approximately 25% of new nurses leave their position within the first year of practice), and practice errors. What can you do to ease your transition process?

Answer 1

Some of the best way to ease the transition process efficiently are

• Gain adequate practical or clinical knowledge and improve their confidence
• Be a part of continuing nursing education program to enhance the knowledge level and gain confidence in work
• The novice staff can be guided and supported by the senior staff and provide them confidence and guidance to develop their skills in working and reducing error
• Not providing them a stressful area to work
• They should not be given patients to care for until they complete the probation period successfully .
