The honeymoon phase is when the student nurse sees the world of nursing as quite rosy.

Often, the new graduate is fascinated with the thrill of arriving in the profession. Reality

/f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f


preparation. Recovery and resolution occur when the graduate nurse is able to laugh at .

nurse is able to grow as a person.

a. Networking .

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


work situation objectively and predict effectively the actions and reactions of other staff.

step . after the graduate has worked through role transition, has some clinical experience,
/f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f


and is ready to focus on a new career objective. Networking, obtaining a mentor, and
/f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f


joining a support group would give the graduate nurse an opportunity to talk to others
/f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f


experiencing the .
/f /f / f

, stress associated with reality shock. The nurse would benefit from ―talking through‖ issues
/f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f


and learning how to cope.

3. A nurse is trying to avoid burnout. Which of the following actions is a valid way to achieve
/f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f


this?
/f



a. Refusing to constantly work extra shifts /f /f /f /f /f .
b. Withdrawing from peer support group /f /f /f /f


c. ―Going native‖ /f


d. Changing jobs every 6 to 12 months . /f /f /f /f /f /f /f




ANS: A /f


One of the quickest ways to experience burnout is to ―overwork the overtime.‖ Set
/f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f


priorities with your mental and physical health being the highest priority. Learning to
/f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f


say ―no‖ to extra shifts is a positive means of coping of avoiding burnout. ―Going
/f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f


native‖ is the term that . describes how recent graduates begin to copy and identify the
/f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f


reality of their role-transition experience by rejecting the values from nursing school and
/f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f


functioning more like a team member at their place of employment. Withdrawing from
/f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f



peer support groups, ―going native,‖ . and changing jobs every 6 to 12 months would
/f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f



increase the chance of the nurse experiencing
/f /f /f /f /f /f /f


burnout. The nurse should instead focus on his/her practice and seek out support from
/f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f


other nurses.

, ―Reality shock‖ is a term often used to describe the reaction experienced when one moves
/f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f


into the workforce after several years of educational preparation. The new graduate is
/f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f


caught in the situation of moving from a familiar, comfortable educational environment
/f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f


into a new role in . the workforce where the expectations are not clearly defined or may
/f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f


not even be realistic. The realization that practice and nursing school are not the same is
/f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f


often associated with ―going native.‖ When nurses move from one position to another,
/f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f


they have already experienced
/f /f /f /f



reality shock. Becoming an experienced nurse takes time and is not part of the definition
/f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f


of . reality shock.

a. Recovery .
b. Shock and rejection /f /f


c. Honeymoon
d. Transition .
ANS: C /f


In the first phase of the role transition process (the honeymoon phase), the graduate nurse is
/f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f


thrilled with completing school and accepting the first job. Life is a bed of roses because
/f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f



everyone knows nursing school is much harder than nursing practice. Shock and rejection .
/f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f


occur as the nurse tries to understand how nursing school and the ―real world‖ come together.
/f
/f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f


Transition occurs as the nurse begins the move from student to nurse and refers to the entire
/f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f


process, not just a particular phase. The recovery phase is when the nurse can laugh at .
/f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f


situations that he/she is in and is able to cope with the situations that are being faced.
