Description

<p>　The purpose of this study was to describe the experience of new graduate nurses. Inductive approach was chosen for the research design, and six subjects were interviewed using a semi structured interview guide. A constant comparison method was used to emerging categories and themes.</p><p>　The results help us understand some new graduate nurses'experience. The core category that emerged from the data was "Search for the meaning of being as a nurse". It was a process of examining themselves for new graduate nurses who intend for nursing professionals. It consisted of four phases : "Crisis of being as a nurse" ; "Support from others such as colleagues and patients" ; "Accepted as a nursing professional", "Forward planning as a nurse". The new gradu ated nurses were experiencing "Crisis of being as a nurse" at the beginning of the first year. This was caused from the lack of self-confidence and the lower self-esteem by the reality shock. Then, by learning the know-how of working together with an increase in the experience, they felt that they got into "admitted into the brotherhood of nurses". It was a key to this stage whether or not to obtain "Support from others such as colleagues and patients". Finally, at the end of the first year, they found the meaning of their own existence in nursing professional environment.</p>
