In the first category the newly registered nurses indicated to the role and responsibility changes from student to registered nurse. Also indicated to the volume of work, which makes it impossible to apply theory to practice and provide the high standard of care that taught in the college. Furthermore the newly registered nurses highlighted that they did not have enough clinical skills because the content of their training included too much emphasis on professional theory and not enough on care in practice. Despite of their needs for support with clinical skills, staff shortage and pressure of time caused insufficient learning in the work place. Learning the system was another factor that caused stress for newly registered nurses. Unfamiliarity with the structure and geography of the organisation prescribed as a stressful and tiring experience. In addition the registered nurses expressed their struggle with organising their time and priorities. The third category is developing clinical judgement; here the nurses expressed their uncomfortable feeling with decision-making and care plan implementation. The Newly qualified nurses said that they have the knowledge but do not have the experience and confidence to make decision and implement care plan. For the same reason (Luker et al (1996 cited by Charnley 1999) recommended longer practical placement for student nurses. The final category is professional relationships; in this category the newly registered nurses expressed their anxiety regarding working with untrained staff. They stated that they are responsible for their own action as well as the health care assistants practice (Charnley 1999).
