A new graduate nurse has to handle professional transitions to continue growth in their care and development. Organizations play a role in assisting new graduate employees through this transition. “Knowing what to expect during this transformation can reduce the stress of accepting and transitioning into a new role and result in quality outcome” (Cherry & Jacob, 2014). “With the ever changing health care environment the nurse has to adapt to high-acuity patients, knowledgeable family members, keeping up with technology and efficiently critically think” (Cherry & Jacob, 2014).

This opportunity will give me a close affiliation with the patient so that I can focus on their needs.
Transitioning to a registered nurse position will pose many challenges. The experience and education gained from nursing school has shed the light on the stress and demand of the profession. It allowed me to develop my career goals, and recognize my strength and weakness making me feel better prepared to take on the responsibility. I have also been inspired to expect life long learning for myself and not be a “stagnant” nurse. This means that every opportunity will be considered to learn something new and gain professional
