Personal Transition Where do I go from here???? Overwhelmed Frustrated Incompetent Lack of knowledge Indecisive Unprepared Where do I go from here???? decisive

Transition Transition into a new role or position comes many different emotions and feelings. The transition shock for newly graduated nurses into professional work life can often encompass feelings of confusion, doubt, loss, and disorientation (Duchscher, 2008). The initial transition stage of the Novice Infection Control Practitioner can meet many challenges as expectations to do surveillance, sit on committees, and countless other responsibilities can often contribute to resigning .Alarming number of new IP’s reach a breaking point in their first three to four years on the job and quit. (Bridges, 2015)

Personal Transition Support Positive reinforcement Reassurance Reasonable workload Assistance always available Allowed ICP to gain autonomy while providing assistance if needed

As a Novice ICP, what resources do you rely on the most to obtain the most current and up to date information? Are these resources easily accessible? Regional & Provincial policies PHAC PIDAC Colleagues IPAC Canada Other; CPSI, CDC,APIC, The Red book, PH Ontario

9. Do you have any advice or recommendations to offer new ICP’s? Ask a lot of questions and do not be afraid to ask for help Take the time to investigate and think before you make decisions or recommendations Don’t assume, have good working relationships with staff Do not expect to be an expert at the beginning! 10. Do you have any recommendations or suggestions to offer Management that could help facilitate the transition into becoming an ICP? Suggestions: Ensure the ICP has an experienced mentor for guidance and direction Have patience; provide clear directions; be readily available Support education opportunities to grow and expand their knowledge Comments: Supportive Transition as a novice was smooth and acceptable time frame allotted Allowed novice to build autonomy in their skills but provided guidance as needed, Excellent orientation
