DOWNLOAD EBOOKNew graduate nurses make up 10% of an organization's nursing staff (Hopkins & Bromley, 2016). New graduates are faced with the challenge of transitioning to practice from the classroom setting. Nurse residency programs are designed to provide new graduate nurses with a resource in their first year of practice. An integrative review of literature was conducted to analyze components of nurse residency programs associated with their respective outcomes. The implementation of a nurse residency program provides the new graduate nurse with support, education, and clinical skills required of a registered nurse. Proposed analysis of this literature review will be presented. -- Abstract
