INTRODUCTION
Transition process in relation to health and social care refers to a process of transformation
in the role of registered professional within clinical practice. It is a very essential and imperative

professional practice and transition into the role of registered nurse in clinical practice. As an
instance, in case she fails to fulfil the demands of the parents who are sensitive about their
children, then she might face the consequence of unsatisfied patients and peers, which would
