There is increased reliance on newly licensed nurses to fill open healthcare positions. Nurse residency programs (NRPs) provide the training, mentorship, and support newly licensed nurses require to successfully transition to professional practice. Research suggests that NRPs improve nurse retention, clinical outcomes, and organizational outcomes. Sufficient NRP full-time equivalents are needed to ensure adequate support and program management. This article describes how a Colorado hospital system secured additional NRP Coordinator full-time equivalent using a six-step process.

With increasing demands for unlicensed assistive personnel, strategies for optimizing recruitment and retention are paramount. The purpose of this quality improvement project was to increase the recruitment and retention of unlicensed assistive personnel in a nonprofit healthcare organization. Initiatives included expanding academic affiliations enhancing pipeline, developing a tailored onboarding program, and introducing a clinical ladder. Results indicate increases in numbers of academic affiliations and hiring, with unlicensed assistive personnel turnover rates below national averages.

A nurse residency for newly licensed registered nurses is best practice. A novel model for transitioning new nurses is a 1-year, postbaccalaureate residency that is rotation based with protected time for supervised clinical and didactic learning. After 10 years with this program, a summative evaluation found that retention rates for 1, 2, 3, and 5 years after program completion were 93%, 83%, 73%, and 82%, respectively, higher than similar programs in the literature.

Nurse preceptors are key to the successful transition of graduate nurses to practice and experienced nurses to a new organization. Providing ongoing preceptor development is essential to support nurses in this vital role. The evidence-based R2C2 (relationship, reaction, content, coach) feedback and coaching model was implemented to facilitate the delivery of constructive feedback from nurse preceptors to their orientees. Post-intervention survey results suggest an overall positive response to the use of the feedback model in practice.

Assessment of initial nursing competency is essential to safe nursing practice yet often focuses on psychomotor skill acquisition. A multistate health system created a competency strategy based on a comprehensive conceptualization of competency using the American Nursing Association scope and standards of nursing practice. This approach allows for the broad application of a standard competency assessment tool across diverse nursing specialties and provides a framework for nursing professional development practitioners to implement in their organizations.
