In the first phase of the role transition process (the honeymoon phase), the graduate nurse is
.P .P .P .P .P .P .P .P .P .P .P .P .P .P .P
thrilled with completing school and accepting the first job. Life is a bed of roses because
.P .P .P .P .P .P .P .P .P .P .P .P .P .P .P .P
everyone knows nursing school is much 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.
