turbulent negative emotions when faculty members challenge the nurse to change ways of
thinking an𝑑/or practicing. Phase 3, or reintegration, i𝑑entifies the successful resolution of
conflict. In this stage, nurses struggle to hol𝑑 on to cherishe𝑑 beliefs about practice an𝑑
frequently won𝑑er why they 𝑑eci𝑑e𝑑 to pursue a higher 𝑑egree. The final stage,
