Title of Assignment [Heading 1]

Students, please start typing your assignment here, and delete this text after you have read it. Make sure that formatting is in line with the ECU SNM A-Z guide. The paper's title is bolded and centred above the first paragraph. The first paragraph is understood to be an introduction so there is no need to use Introduction as a heading. If only one level of heading is needed, use Level 1. If two levels of heading are needed, use Levels 1 and 2 (and so on). Note: The structure of your assignment and the assignment instructions will determine whether your paper has just main headings or headings and subheadings. Level 1 headings are centred, bolded, and use title case. Text begins after them as a new paragraph. Level 2 headings are left aligned, bolded, title case. Text begins as a new paragraph after this kind of heading. A good introduction is interesting and tells the reader: a) what the paper is about? b) why the topic is important? c) outlines what you will be discussing in the rest of the report? d) around 200 words.

Here you could discuss at least THREE challenges faced by newly graduate registered nurse: a) what are the common challenges? b) how does it affect the new nurse? c) around 150 words per paragraph. I would suggest you allocate around 500 words to discuss the challenges and one concept for each paragraph.

Assessment Task Instructions

This assignment aims to assess your knowledge on issues related to the transition from the role of a student nurse to that of a newly registered nurse. You are required to demonstrate an appropriate level of academic writing skills and critical discussion equal to that of a student in the final year of a bachelors degree.

The topic of assignment

Discuss a potential challenge and appropriate strategies for managing the role transition, in light of this challenge, from nursing student to graduate registered nurse.

What you should do

Step 1: Read the literature and synthesis findings of at least 6 peer-reviewed journal articles published in the last 5 years on the provided topic.

Step 2: Identify and describe 3 challenges from the literature regarding transitioning from the role of a student to a new graduate nurse e.g., transition shock, stressors, conflict, and workplace bullying; then describe one of these challenges more deeply.

Step 3: Identify and describe appropriate strategies from the literature for coping with the challenges highlighted, most particularly the challenge you have chosen to consider in-depth. Also consider personal strategies you could use as a newly graduated nurse to deal with this challenge e.g., personal coping strategies; developing resilience.

Step 4: Complete the essay in a Word document using Assessment 2 template 2022.2 V1.docx and submit it through Turnitin.

Step 5: Use appropriate academic language, topic sentences, linking sentences, and paragraphs to ensure logical progression of discussion and flow of ideas. As this is a relatively short essay, use sub-headings, as they will contextualise your discussion.

Step 6: Ensure correct use of APA 7 referencing style for both in-text and end-text citations. Books and websites may be used as reference material for this assignment but there must be at least 6 peer-reviewed journal articles cited.

Step 7: Review the academic integrity checklist prior to submitting your assignment.
