New graduate nurses continue to experience difficulty in transitioning into practice. A literature review was conducted to identify factors that influence new graduate nurse transition.

Findings suggest that a complex interplay between intrapersonal, interpersonal, and organizational factors influence transition. A nursing professional development specialist plays a crucial role in implementing educational strategies that address factors across all three levels of influence.
