Background
As you approach a life-long journey of continuing professional development and professional currency, it is important
for you as transitioning registered nurses and registered midwives to reflect on how far you have come and what
your new graduate year may look like. Understanding what factors may influence your transition, what strategies you
may use to enhance your transition and the types of resources available for you to access to facilitate your individual
transition to practice, will help you evaluate, reflect and set personal goals as you enter your new career.
Aim of assessment
The aim of this assessment provides students with an opportunity to critically analyse and discuss the relationship
between the theoretical construct of ’being a professional nurse or midwife’ and the transition to graduate
practice.
Details
Write an essay based on the case study provided exploring the different elements that inform your preparation
for transition to professional practice. Based on current theoretical perspectives, analyse the case study and explain
the importance of managing clinical and non-clinical skills essential for new graduate nurses or new graduate midwives
to address in readiness for meeting professional responsibilities as capable practitioners in nursing and midwifery. You
must also reflect on your own preparedness for practice as a new graduate nurse or new graduate midwife, taking
into consideration your own values and personal goals as you enter the health workforce.
