Abstract
In the past decade, nurse vacancy rates due to turnover increased the pressure for hospitals to orient and train new graduate registered nurses as quickly as possible so they can work independently at the bedside. Research has shown that hospital-based nurse residency programs are beneficial in the recruitment and retention of new graduate registered nurses. A paucity of qualitative research in nursing literature exists that explores the experience of nurses transitioning from students to new graduate registered nurses following a nurse residency program exist in the nursing literature.
The purpose of this study was to explore the lived experiences of nurses transitioning from students to registered nurses following a nurse residency program.
