Abstract
Nurse residency programs were designed with the intent of assisting nurses with the transition into a new area of practice. These programs are common in acute care settings; however, implementation has been slow to move into long-term care. The purpose of this project was to complete a community needs assessment to determine whether the community nursing home would be interested in implementing a nurse residency program within the next year. The assessment was completed with surveys distributed to various nursing home stakeholders. Survey results concluded that the current nurse orientation process, nurse recruitment, and nurse turnover rates were important items to the participants, however, they were not satisfied with the current rollout of these programs at the nursing home. Therefore, information about nurse residency programs was shared with the nursing home so that an informed decision on whether to pursue the program implementation can be made.
