g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g
honeymoon phase of role transition when making which of the following statements?
g g g g g g g g g g g g
a. ―I am so nervous about being on my own as a nurse.‖
g g g g g g g g g g g

d. ―This job is perfect. I can finally do things my own way.‖
g g g g g g g g g g g
- ANSWER- D
g g
The honeymoon phase is when the student nurse sees the world of nursing as quite rosy. Often,
g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g
the new graduate is fascinated with the thrill of arriving in the profession. Reality shock occurs
g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g
when one moves into the workforce after several years of educational preparation. Recovery and
g g g g g g g g g g g g g g
resolution occur when the graduate nurse is able to laugh at encountered situations. During this
g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g
time, tension decreases, perception increases, and the nurse is able to grow as a person.

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

- ANSWER- A

One of the quickest ways to experience burnout is to ―overwork the overtime.‖ Set priorities
g g g g g g g g g g g g g g
with your mental and physical health being the highest priority. Learning to say ―no‖ to extra
g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g
shifts is a positive means of coping of avoiding burnout. ―Going native‖ is the term that
g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g
describes how recent graduates begin to copy and identify the reality of their role transition
g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g
experience by rejecting the values from nursing school and functioning more like a team member
g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g
at their place of employment. Withdrawing from peer support groups, ―going native,‖ and
g g g g g g g g g g g g g
changing jobs every 6 to 12 months would increase the chance of the nurse experiencing
g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g
burnout. The nurse should instead focus on his/her practice and seek out support from other
g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g
nurses.
