Abstract

The nursing workforce crisis has highlighted the need for effective transition to practice (TTP) for new graduate nurses (NGNs). In 2021, only 20% of NGNs in the US were considered practice-ready. The use of Nurse Residency Programs (NRP) was highlighted as the best approach for improving competencies and practice readiness. However, the assessment of NRP effectiveness is limited, particularly in rural hospitals.
