Abstract

Objective: To identify newly graduating nurses’ experiences and expectations, while transitioning from being a student to working life from the narratives of them.Methods: Narrative inquiry method was applied in this study. Data were collected from 18 newly graduated nurses via letters that they write down between September and October 2021 and analyzed by using the thematic analysis method.Results: Three themes and 6 subthemes emerged. The main themes were “The transition from imaginary practices to professionalism,” “Feeling more powerful,” and “Change.”Conclusion: These findings showed that the challenging process of the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic affected newly graduating nurses at different levels. Understanding the newly graduating nurses’ needs and expectations can serve nurse educators and healthcare organizations to focus on preparing newly graduating nurses to work life.
