For all nurses and midwives one of the most memorable times of their career is transitioning from being a student to a qualified nurse or midwife. This is an exciting time but also one that can be stressful, particularly in today's challenging health care climate. The health and social care needs of the UK's population are changing and to respond to this, care delivery models are changing too. Change can be difficult, but periods of change are also times of great opportunity. In Scotland, England, Northern Ireland and Wales there is great potential for nurses and midwives to lead the way and overcome barriers to provide safe high quality care - in and out of hours, scheduled and unscheduled, seven days per week.
