extend self-governance, protect the title of RN and scope of practice, receive respect and
fair remuneration for services, be free to practice nursing to the full extent of
educational preparation, receive support to sustain the nursing profession, and be
protected from hazardous service activities. Shaping the future of nursing is a primary

,2. A nurse who has worked for 15 years in the hospital has an opportunity to attend an
RN-to-BSN program, and the hospital will pay for the cost of tuition if the nurse agrees

A. Reading a chapter on “Care of the Cardiac Patient”
B. Speaking to the nurses on the clinical unit
C. Listening to family as they share the client's story
D. Writing a paper on nursing for the palliative client

enables the nurse to develop skills to communicate effectively verbally with clients as
well as colleagues. Listening enables thought organization. Reading stimulates the
release of neurotrophins, strengthening neural pathways.

3. A nurse in the long-term care facility has decided to return to nursing school to earn a
higher degree. The nurse is full of positive thoughts and energy when contemplates all
the new things to learn. According to Shane's returning-to-school syndrome, which
phase is this nurse experiencing?
A. Conflict phase
B. Reintegration phase
C. Integration phase
D. Honeymoon phase
, Answer: D
Rationale: Shane describes a “returning-to-school syndrome” encountered by registered
nurses returning to earn higher nursing degrees. The first phase, the honeymoon, is
positive and the nurse recognizes similarities between previous educational experiences
and the present experiences that reinforce their original role identity as a nurse. As a
result, the nurse feels energetic about learning new things. The conflict phase is
characterized by turbulent negative emotions when faculty members challenge the nurse
to change ways of thinking and/or practicing. Phase 3, or reintegration, identifies the
successful resolution of conflict. In this stage, nurses struggle to hold on to cherished
beliefs about practice and frequently wonder why they decided to pursue a higher
degree. The final stage, integration, is characterized by the ability to blend the original
culture of work with the new culture of school. Integration of the old with the new results
in a positive resolution of the returning-to-school syndrome but occurs later in the
process.
