Identity Earning involves forming a new identity within a new socio-professional group. Role transitioning is the psychological process of moving from one role to another, encompassing various stages. Self-Integrating refers to the extent of assimilation into the new role and socio-professional group. Factors such as organisational design and resources were identified as contextual conditions that can either facilitate or impede success for nurse executives.</div></div><div><h3>Conclusion</h3><div>The theory of Identity Realigning provides significant insights for educators, leaders, and policymakers by explaining the intricate process of role transitioning for nurse executives. It establishes a clear link between shifts in professional identity and the processes of role transitioning and integration.

In daily practice they face challenges that require them to make changes to system standards. We identified three key triggers for change and emerging strategies to handle these triggers: 1) when standard risk assessment does not fit nursing practice, nurses a) seem to comply with the system, b) adopt an investigative, attentive approach. 2) when protocols and guidelines do not align with daily practices, nurses a) proactively identify potential and actual changes, b) find the \"golden mean\" through relational negotiation and patient advocacy. 3) when nurses and other healthcare professionals hold differing values on care quality and safety, nurses a) find allies, and b) applied various indirect means.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;h3&gt;Conclusions&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;div&gt;Our study reveals that situated resilience in nursing is not only a television series of actions to fix misalignments or to deal with unexpected change. It unfolds as a relational process in which nurses adapt their behaviour intuitively according to a patient’s unique situation, values, and interests. By balancing the individual patient’s needs and values with organizational systemic demands nurses exhibit situated resilience. By recognizing and supporting situated resilience practices, organizations not only enhance the quality of daily practice but also structurally strengthen their adaptive and resilient capacities.
