Abstract
Abstract: The largest healthcare system in New Mexico, in collaboration with the University of New Mexico College of Nursing, identified an opportunity to increase and retain the number of family practice NPs and certified nurse midwives in rural communities by creating an immersive 1-year rural residency program for newly graduated advanced practice registered nurses (APRNs). This article describes the journey to design this program and build its infrastructure with the aim of addressing the needs of both APRNs during their transition to practice and patients in rural areas, while providing a return on the healthcare system's business investment. Program results are also reported. Program funding was provided by a Health Resources and Services Administration grant, the Presbyterian Healthcare Services executive team, and the Presbyterian Healthcare Foundation.
