COVID-19 Resource: Transitioning into practice: Myths vs. reality

Abstract

<p>As a new nursing graduate and/ or nurse in your first year of practice, you may be bombarded by a lot of information re: licensure exams (NCLEX), getting your first job from resumes to interviews, and so much more. Friends, classmates, family, other nurses and more will give you their opinions and “truth” about these topic, as well as expectations of you and clinical practice, what you know and do not know, how to fit in, and yes, the impact of COVID-19 on your new career. You often do not know who or what to believe. This interactive webinar will give you an opportunity to ask your questions and get fact-based answers from two seasoned expert nurse educators. Their expertise spans career development, NCLEX, clinical practice roles and environments for new nurse graduates/nurses and more. </p> <p>Teaching/Learning Outcomes</p> <ol> <li>Dispel myths related to licensure and transitioning to practice</li> <li>List components for create an application</li> <li>Explain the preparatory work for the interview</li> <li>Outline strategies during the interview process</li> <li>Describe three key strategies for thriving as a new professional</li> </ol> <p><font color="red"><em>This item is part of a Sigma CNE course available to Sigma members only. <strong>The material is freely available in the Sigma Repository and anyone may access the file(s) attached to this record and the video stream(s) linked below.</strong></em></font> </p> <p><font color="red"><em>For information on accessing the Sigma CNE course (separate from the Sigma Repository), please click here:<a href="https://www.sigmarepository.org/sigma-elearning-platform/" target="_blank"> https://www.sigmarepository.org/sigma-elearning-platform/.</a></em></font> </p> <p><font color="red"><em>Upon entering the Sigma eLearning Platform, search for the keyword "Webinar".</font></em></p> <p><font color="red"><strong> To view the video: scroll down to watch the embedded video stream.
