Abstract
Onboarding of new graduate nurses in a fast paced emergency department environment can be stressful in the critical thinking skills and knowledge they must possess. Although a six month orientation was provided, the new grad can become overwhelmed and transfer before orientation is completed, or shortly after. This project focuses on a new grad orientation redesign using a preceptor and orientation nurse model to increase knowledge and retention of new grads in the emergency department.
