Abstract
Socialization for the nurse in transition to a new unit, organization, or hospital system begins in the early stages of the onboarding process. The nursing professional development practitioner has an opportunity to provide activities and experiences that support socialization while the nurse in transition develops an understanding of the culture of the practice setting.
