The transition period is successfully managed when the graduate is able to evaluate the work

wsituation objectively and predict effectively the actions and reactions of other staff. Nurturing

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