BUILDING PROFESSIONAL CAPACITY 3
Introduction
There might be several practical issues and leadership related challenges in
professional practice for a graduate nurse (El Haddad, Moxham & Broadbent, 2013).
Transiting from student nurse to a graduate requires integrating a lot of knowledge, skills,
and expertise. A Graduate Registered Nurse (GRN) after completing education is expected
to be hired and work in varied healthcare facilities on a variety of general and specialty
units (Marlina, 2017). The time period when a student nurse makes the transition into the
role of a professional nurse can emerge to be quite challenged, a time period of reality
shock and transition shock. Transition shock takes place as a student nurse is less familiar
with practicing nursing with varied responsibilities, relationships, and knowledge regarding
performance expectations (Freeling & Parker, 2015). In the current task of critical
assessment, the professional practice issues with leadership challenges in nursing are
discussed.
Challenge being a GRN
Transiting to a GRN requires a student nurse to perform several tasks in unfamiliar
areas (Kaihlanen, Lakanmaa & Salminen, 2013). Student nurse gets the opportunity to learn
regarding various diseases processes with their associated care required in nursing. The
main challenge or issues that students face in making the transition from student nurse to a
GRN includes applying theories, concepts and knowledge learned into actual practice in
clinical settings (Hezaveh, Rafii & Seyedfatemi, 2014). Though these challenges are
inherent in clinical education, it often stops a student from gaining a full understanding
regarding the experience and aspects of a professional nurse’s role.
