<p>Background: Every year about 4600 nurses are examined in Sweden. The work as a nurse is responsible and she is often working under time pressure. Aim: To describe nurse’s understandings about her professional role during her first year after the examination. Method: Systematic literature review, where 10 scientific articles were examined. Findings: Five categories were found: To be alone with the responsibility; To have insufficient knowledge in nursing; to experience time pressure; to develop a profession and become a member of the team; To feel satisfaction by being a nurse. Discussion: Newly examined nurses require support from experienced nurses during their first year. Time pressure caused stressful situations. To little time with each patients were frustrating for them. Conclusion: An important issue is to have support from a preceptor during the first year or to participate in a trainee program. </p><p> </p>
