Perasaan, pengalaman dan harapan serta keinginan perawat baru diberi kewenangan klinis dapat memengaruhi kualitas pelayanan keperawatan di rumah sakit. Penelitian kualitatif fenomenologi deskriptif ini bertujuan menggali pengalaman perawat baru sebelum diberi kewenangan klinis. Wawancara mendalam pada 11 partisipan dengan analisis data menggunakan metode Colaizzi, menghasilkan 7 tema yaitu; perawat baru kurang paham tentang kewenangan klinis, perawat baru bangga bila berhasil melakukan tindakan yang bukan kewenangan  klinisnya, perawat baru melaksanakan asuhan keperawatan atas perintah senior, perawat baru ingin diakui, dihargai dan diberi kewenangan klinis, perawat baru mengalami kelelahan fisik dan mental, perawat baru ingin melaksanakan tindakan sesuai SOP, dan rumah sakit perlu memfasilitasi proses adaptasi perawat baru. Perawat baru melaksanakan asuhan keperawatan dengan harapan ingin diakui dan memiliki kemahiran dalam bekerja. Mereka merasakan berbagai perasaan kesulitan terhadap transisi yang dijalani di masa orientasi perawat baru membutuhkan dukungan dan pendampingan yang komunikatif dalam menjalankan perannya sebagai pemberi asuhan keperawatan kepada pasien. Manajemen rumah sakit diharapkan dapat memberikan program orientasi yang tepat serta memperkenalkan kewenangan klinis sejak awal pada perawat baru.
