• “This will be a great learning experience.” .
• “I can’t wait to have a steady paycheck.”
• “This job is perfect. I can finally do things my own way.”

nursing as quite rosy. Often, the new graduate is fascinated with the
thrill of arriving in the profession. Reality shock occurs when one moves

at . encountered situations. During this time, tension decreases,

• Which of the following actions by the graduate nurse is an
inappropriate methodology to recover from reality shock?
• Networking .

, • Returning to school
• Joining a support group
.
ANS: 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 step . 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
support group would give the graduate nurse an opportunity to talk to
others experiencing the .stress associated with reality shock. The
nurse would benefit from “talking through” issues and learning how to
cope.

• A nurse is trying to avoid burnout. Which of the following actions is a
valid way to achieve this?
• Refusing to constantly work extra shifts .
• Withdrawing from peer support group
• “Going native”
• Changing jobs every 6 to 12 months .
ANS: A
One of the quickest ways to experience burnout is to “overwork the
overtime.” Set priorities with your mental and physical health being
the highest priority. Learning to say “no” to extra shifts is a positive
means of coping of avoiding burnout. “Going native” is the term that .
describes how recent graduates begin to copy and identify the reality
of their role-transition experience by rejecting the values from nursing
school and functioning more like a team member at their place of
employment. Withdrawing from peer support groups, “going native,” .
and changing jobs every 6 to 12 months would increase the chance of
the nurse experiencing
, burnout. The nurse should instead focus on his/her practice and seek
out support from other nurses.

• Which of the following statements by the graduate nurse shows
an understanding of reality shock as it applies to nursing? .
• “Reality shock is the period when a person moves from school into
the workforce.”“Reality shock is the realization that practice and
education are not the same.”
• “Reality shock is the period from graduation to becoming an
experienced nurse.”.
• “Reality shock is a transition phase that new graduates go
through before changing jobs.”
ANS: A .
“Reality shock” is a term often used to describe the reaction
experienced when one moves into the workforce after several years
of educational preparation. The new graduate is caught in the
situation of moving from a familiar, comfortable educational
environment into a new role in . the workforce where the expectations
are not clearly defined or may not even be realistic. The realization
that practice and nursing school are not the same is often associated
with “going native.” When nurses move from one position to
another, they have already experienced
reality shock. Becoming an experienced nurse takes time and is not
part of the definition of . reality shock.

staff nurse position, stating: “It feels great to be a nurse! In fact, it’s a
, snap! I can hardly believe there’s no . instructor looking over my
shoulder.” What phase of reality shock is the graduate experiencing?
• Recovery .
• Shock and rejection
• Honeymoon
• Transition .
ANS: C
In the first phase of the role transition process (the honeymoon phase), the

harder than nursing practice. Shock and rejection . occur as the nurse tries
to understand how nursing school and the “real world” come together.
Transition occurs as the nurse begins the move from student to nurse and
refers to the entire process, not just a particular phase. The recovery phase
is when the nurse can laugh at . situations that he/she is in and is able to
cope with the situations that are being faced.
