Abstract
Nurse Residency programs (NRPs) have shown great promise in helping to transition the new RN to the role of a practicing nurse. This document describes the development of a nurse residency program pilot (NRPP) at a small rural hospital in Northern Michigan. This document describes a structured NRPP modeled after the National Council of State Boards of Nursing (NCSBN) transition to practice modules. The document demonstrates the benefits that a structured NRPP had in facilitating the development of relationships between hospital preceptors and newly hired registered nurses (NHRN). This document discusses how the NRPP incorporated evidence to support transition to practice RN (TTP-RN) acculturation into facility culture through the development of relationships between the preceptors and TTP-RNs. Further, this document incorporates the evidence from various transition and learning theories that were used in the construction of structured NRPP modules.
