Abstract
There is a growing concern in education and healthcare that we are not adequately preparing or transitioning newly graduated nurses (NGNs) into the workplace. Several studies over the past decade have revealed relationships between the mental health of NGNs and their experience of the workplace environment. Even before the destabilizing impact of the global COVID-19 pandemic, overwhelming workload intensities were forcing nurses to become organizational task masters and crisis facilitators rather than clinical case managers and direct-care providers. This paper outlines numerous practical and evidence-based interventions for mitigating transition shock and assisting NGNs in successfully navigating the stages of transition.
