Running head: XXX 2 Challenges And Strategies for Managing Role Transition from Nursing Student to Graduate Registered Nurse Student name [e.g., Justine Maldon] Student number [e.g., 12345678] School of Nursing and Midwifery, Edith Cowan University NUM2404 Transition to Registered Practice Lecturer [e.g., Dr Fiona Foxall] Due date [day month year] Word count includes in-text references and excludes end-text references [e.g., 1500 words] [remove brackets once completed] 1 2 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 assignment guidelines and 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 -250 words. Here you should highlight at least THREE challenges (provide definitions if necessary) faced by newly graduate registered nurses but highlight one that you will discuss in depth. Challenges [Heading 1] [Heading 2] Penatibus fames tristique nostra condimentum placerat vel morbi et natoque, sapien turpis nunc venenatis. Fames lobortis lectus lacinia enim feugiat interdum dictum, senectus iaculis pharetra elementum maecenas blandit, at tincidunt a litora fusce pulvinar (Ferguson, 2013). Here you should consider exactly what the challenge is that you have highlighted for deep discussion and how it may affect the newly graduated nurse. I would suggest you allocate around 500 words to discuss the challenge. [Heading 2 – if required] Penatibus fames tristique nostra condimentum placerat vel morbi et natoque, sapien turpis nunc venenatis.

Strategies [Heading 1] [Heading 2] Penatibus fames tristique nostra condimentum placerat vel morbi et natoque, sapien turpis nunc venenatis. Fames lobortis lectus lacinia enim feugiat interdum dictum, senectus iaculis pharetra elementum maecenas blandit, at tincidunt a litora fusce pulvinar (Ferguson, 2013). Here you could discuss at least THREE organisational/personal strategies that could address/alleviate the challenge you have discussed in depth: a) what are the possible strategies? b) how do they help? I would suggest you allocate around 500- 600 words (depending on how many words you have used in your introduction and conclusion) to discuss the strategies - one concept for each paragraph.

A ‘good’ conclusion should summaries all the points raised within the discussion. Please note there should be NO references within your conclusion as no new information should be presented here (200 – 250 words). References This should include an alphabetical full end text reference list of all in-text references used. You need to follow the APA 7 style as per the ECU referencing guide. This can be downloaded from the library website. This assignment requires a minimum of 6 peer-reviewed journal articles. The references should be no older than 5 years unless it is seminal work. You can use reference material older than five years that has been cited within the unit content – but only to support your arguments – not as one of the 6 peer-reviewed journal articles required – you need to search for these. Some examples of end text references are below – but are not necessarily related to this assignment, they simply demonstrate what a reference list should look like.

You are required to demonstrate an appropriate level of academic writing skills and critical discussion equal to that of a student in the second year of a bachelor’s degree. The topic of assignment Discuss a potential challenge and appropriate strategies for managing role transition in light of this challenge, from nursing/midwifery student to graduate registered nurse/midwife. What you should do Step 1: search for, locate and read associated literature and synthesise findings from at least SIX peer-reviewed journal articles published in the last 5 years on the provided topic. You may also use seminal work but this would be in addition to the contemporary literature you locate. Step 2: Identify and describe three challenges from the literature regarding transitioning from the role of a student to a graduate nurse/midwife e.g., transition shock, stressors, conflict, and workplace bullying; then discuss one of these challenges in an in-depth manner. Step 3: Identify and describe appropriate strategies from the literature to address/alleviate/cope with the challenge you have chosen to consider in-depth. Also consider personal strategies you could use as a newly graduated nurse/midwife to deal with this challenge e.g., personal coping strategies; developing resilience. Step 4: Complete the essay in a Word document using the assignment 3 template on Canvas 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 six peer-reviewed journal articles cited. Step 7: Review the academic integrity checklist on Canvas prior to submitting your assignment. Step 8: If you are repeating this unit and intending to re-use material from a previously submitted assignment for this assessment, please kindly contact the unit coordinator for permission by email:
