Unit i: professional growth and transition
Chapter 01: role transitions
Multiple choice
1. A graduate nurse has been hired as a nurse at a local hospital. The new nurse is in the
honeymoon phase of role transition when making which of the following statements?
A. “i am so nervous about being on my own as a nurse.”
B. “this will be a great learning experience.”
C. “i can’t wait to have a steady paycheck.”
D. “this job is perfect. I can finally do things my own way.”
Accurate answer>>> d .
The honeymoon phase is when the student nurse sees the world of nursing as quite rosy. Often,
the new graduate is fascinated with the thrill of arriving in the profession. Reality shock occurs
when one moves into the workforce after several years of educational preparation. Recovery
and resolution occur when the graduate nurse is able to laugh at encountered situations.
During this time, tension decreases, perception increases, and the nurse is able to grow as a
person.

to recover from reality shock?

.
Accurate answer>>> c
The transition period is successfully managed when the graduate is able to evaluate the work
situation objectively and predict effectively the actions and reactions of other staff.
Nurturing the ability to see humor in a situation may be a first step. Returning to school is a
positive step after the graduate has worked through role transition, has some clinical
experience, and is ready to focus on a new career objective. Networking, obtaining a mentor,
and joining a support group would give the graduate nurse an opportunity to talk to others
experiencing the stress associated with reality shock. The nurse would benefit from “talking
through” issues and learning how to cope.

with your mental and physical health being the highest priority. Learning to say “no” to extra
shifts is a positive means of coping of avoiding burnout. “going native” is the term that .
