2. Which of the following actions by the graduate nurse is an inappropriate methodology

a. Networking c. Returning to school
b. Obtaining a mentor d. Joining a support group
- 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 st
ep 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 sup
port group would give the graduate nurse an opportunity to talk to others experiencing the str
ess associated with reality shock. The nurse would benefit from ‗talking through‘ issues and
learning how to cope.
