Transition to Nursing Practice: From Student to Professional provides students with a comprehensive introduction into the nursing profession and the capabilities they need for practice.

Written by experts in their field, the text takes an evidence-based approach to understanding workplace readiness of graduate nurses. It presents the theoretical principles that underpin the concept of readiness and asks students to apply these principles in preparation for personal, professional, clinical and industry domains of practice. Included are case studies and activities to develop students' understanding of the nursing profession and practical worksheets to help students build a career-ready portfolio.

The text aims to build confidence in students as they prepare to enter their first year of practice by enabling them to identify and consolidate the essential capabilities needed to adjust to and grow in their professional role as a registered nurse.
