Description
Lynette Cusack and co-authors follow newly graduated nurses through their first year in a 2025 Australian study. The step from student to registered nurse brings strain, unclear roles, and a jolt known as transition shock.
A seventy five item questionnaire, built on a staged theory of that transition, was given at three points across the year inside one large health service. Four areas were tracked: responsibilities, role orientation, relationships, and knowledge with confidence. The four areas held together as clean factors. Scores rose by stage in decision making, handling pressure, seeing oneself as a leader, and keeping emotions steady. The authors also model which traits predict reaching each stage.
