The transition from Professional Registered Professional Nurse (RN) to Advanced Practice Registered Nurse (APN) is often a stressful career change. Reflect on factors that influence role transition and how best to mitigate the transition toward alteration in professional identity, loss of confidence, and novice APN development.
Please note:
Guidelines: In your discussion response, provide a substantive response that illustrates a well-reasoned and thoughtful response. Reflective posts provide you an opportunity to think back on the concepts and materials you reviewed for the week. A reflection is a method for personal growth. A reflection post can help answer questions, such as, “How has my thinking changed this past week?”, “How can I use the concepts or relationships from the course readings and course content in my practice?” Reflection enhances personal and professional growth by making connections to previous course content and/or presenting novel ideas and insights.
