This article reveals improved leader engagement in nurse residency programs, suggesting a replicable strategy for retention.
Health systems increasingly rely on strong transition-to-practice support for early-career nurses. This article describes how a community-based academic medical center improved Nurse Residency Program (NRP) effectiveness by implementing structured Monthly NRP Manager Forums to enhance leader engagement, communication, and alignment. The model strengthened curriculum relevance and improved responsiveness to nurse resident needs. Survey results demonstrated higher-than-benchmark leader perceptions. This approach offers a replicable strategy for advancing NRP impact and early-career nurse retention.
