New Graduate as a Leader Practice Guideline

Newly graduated nurses must recognize they have unique needs that are different from those of experienced nurses. The support of your manager and other colleagues will help you to be successful in any designated role, including the Charge Nurse role.

We developed the New Graduate as a Leader Practice Guideline for newly graduated nurses in all practice settings to help them understand strategies to work through when asked to take on the role of Charge Nurse and restrictions related to the Charge Nurse role when holding a conditional licence.
