Abstract

Onboarding is process of advancing the behaviors that will be the foundation of an employee's long-term success with managers involved in the process. Five themes emerged in the literature review for onboarding new Registered Nurses (RN): consistency, partnership, critical reasoning, learning style, and transition. The self-directed, or learner-driven, married-state process implies adult learning protocols in a consistent partnership between learner and coach are effective.
