Feedback: Shane Describes A “Returning-To-School Syndrome” Encountered By Registered
Nurses Returning To Earn Higher Nursing Degrees. The First Phase, The Honeymoon, Is
Positive And The Nurse Recognizes Similarities Between Previous Educational Experiences
And The Present Experiences That Reinforce Their Original Role Identity As A Nurse. As A
Result, The Nurse Feels Energetic About Learning New Things. The Conflict Phase Is
Characterized By 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, Integration, Is Characterized By The Ability To Blend
The Original Culture Of Work With The New Culture Of School. Integration Of The Old
With The New Results In A Positive Resolution Of The
Returning-To-School Syndrome But Occurs Later In The Process.

Knowing How To Act Or What Questions To Ask. According To Bridges' Managing
Transitions Theory, What Phase Of Transition Is This Student Experiencing?
a. New Beginning

Feedback: The Second Phase That Bridges Calls “The Neutral Zone” Is When The Old
Identity Has Vanished But The New One Is Not Fully Developed. In This Phase, People
Experience A Very Unsettled Feeling Because They May Not Know How To Act Or What
Questions To Ask. A New Beginning Is The Third Phase And Is Characterized By A New
Mental Image Or Experience Hallmarked By “A Release Of New Energy In A New
Direction.” A Transition Is The Psychological Adaptation That Occurs And Is Not Part Of
The Phases. Letting Go Is The First Phase Of The Process And Requires Letting Go Of The
Old Identity.
