“During the transition from student to nurse, newly graduated nurses grow and develop as professionals, making this transition a critical period in their new careers. New graduate nurse attrition rate ranges from 30 to 70% in the United States, 28–30% in Canada, and 24.5–35.3% in Korea. Negative experiences during the transitional period, such as theory-practice gaps, not feeling valued or respected, and senior staff’s bullying or violent behaviors are commonly reported reasons for new graduate nurses leaving nursing jobs.”
