Question: Investigating Emotional Exhaustion in New Graduates
Talk with at least four nursing graduates who have been working as nurses for anywhere from 3 months to 3 years. Make sure at least two of them are recent graduates and two of them have been working at least 18 months. Ask them about their socialization to nursing after graduation. Did any of them experience difficulty transitioning from academe to clinical practice? If so, how long did it last? Did they recover? If so, how? Share your findings with other members of your group.
