Chapter 01: Role Transitions
MULTIPLE CHOICE
1. A GRADUATE Nurse Has Been Hired As A Nurse At A Local Hospital. The New Nurse Is In The
Honeymoon Phase Of Role Transition When Making Which Of The Following Statements?
A. “I Am So Nervous About Being On My Own As A Nurse.”
B. “This Will Be A Great Learning Experience.”
C. “I Can’t Wait To Have A Steady Paycheck.”
D. “This Job Is Perfect. I Can Finally Do Things My Own Way.”
Answer>> D .
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 Shock Occurs When
One Moves Into The Workforce After Several Years Of Educational Preparation. Recovery And
Resolution Occur When The GRADUATE Nurse Is Able To Laugh At Encountered Situations. During This
Time, Tension Decreases, Perception Increases, And The Nurse Is Able To Grow As A Person.

2. Which Of The Following Actions By The GRADUATE Nurse Is An Inappropriate Methodology To
Recover From Reality Shock?
A. Networking .
B. Obtaining A Mentor
C. Returning To School
, D. Joining A Support Group
.
Answer>> 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.

3. A Nurse Is Trying To Avoid Burnout. Which Of The Following Actions Is A Valid Way To Achieve
This?
A. Refusing To Constantly Work Extra Shifts .
B. Withdrawing From Peer Support Group
C. “Going Native”
D. Changing Jobs Every 6 To 12 Months
Answer>> 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
