It takes a lot of time, energy, and resources to onboard newly graduated registered nurses (RNs) in specialized nursing settings like the perioperative environment. In the past, a lot of employers prioritized nursing recruitment. Retaining new staff has become a focus in recent years due to the rising expenses associated with hiring and onboarding nurses. There are numerous obstacles faced by recent nursing graduates as they go from an academic to a practice setting. Many people still struggle with reality shock, cognitive dissonance, and theory-practice gaps at the less-than-ideal time of transition from student to work. Finding the tactics new nurses need to take care of and stand up for themselves in their first year of practice is the goal of this research.
