Evolving Our Workforce: What Needs To Change?
Commentary – Transition to Practice: Future Considerations for New Graduate Nurses
Judy E. Boychuk Duchscher, Kathryn Corneau and Michelle Lamont
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.

This paper outlines numerous practical and evidence-based interventions for mitigating transition shock and assisting NGNs in successfully navigating the stages of transition.
