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.

Transitions Theory, What Phase Of Transition Is This Student Experiencing?

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.
