Critical care nurses provide care to the most ill patients in hospital settings; yet, little is known about the processes by which critical care nurses are socialized into their roles. The purpose of this study was to uncover the early socialization process for newly hired nurses in adult critical care settings. The two research questions for this study were: (1) What are the early processes of how a new nurse becomes a critical care nurse? (2) From the participants' views, what factors play a part in the socialization process for new critical care nurses? Grounded theory methodology was used to collect and analyze data; trustworthiness criteria were met. Findings indicate participants negotiate each phase of their socialization process in which they must discover the expectations for each new challenge. The theory describes participants as they are “Navigating the Challenge.” The first phase, “The Prodrome,” contains the categories “Why I Am Here,” and “Up for the Challenge.” The second phase is “Welcome to the Unit” with the category “Being Nurtured.” The link to the next category was “Disengagement/Testing,” consisting of the categories of “Cutting It”, and “Why Am I Here?” and “Taking Charge.” Participants who were successful in “Puffing It Together” in the “On My Own” phase were able to successfully complete the early socialization processes and enter the “Reconciliation” phase. Implications are made for administration, education, and practice.
