Certain common interventions can be helpful in your role transition. Because learning is better when it has direct application or when it will be used soon after it has taken place, one intervention is to request assignment that complements your area of need. You will learn more about complications of hypertension, for example, if you take a patient with hypertension than if you just read about them. Another way to enhance your knowledge base is to ask your mentor or preceptor questions that help you understand how he or she arrived at a conclusion of decision. It will be important to communicate with your nurse manager or director when your role changes from that of LPN/LVN to RN. Asking assistance in prioritizing the nurse's patient assignments is a rudimentary exercise at this point in role transition. Feeling a little nervous at work may give a graduate RN the alertness to anticipate changes in condition, but too much nervousness may be debilitating, giving the impression of a lack of confidence.
