PREPARE : program review and evaluation for professional advancement in nurse residency education

A nurse residency program (NRP) at a large urban academic hospital was evaluated to assess the effectiveness of transitioning new graduate nurses (NGNs) into clinical practice, especially during the pandemic. The evaluation used a mixed-methods approach that combined quantitative data from NGN surveys with qualitative feedback. Results showed that the NRP has positively impacted NGNs' confidence and professional skills, but critical areas for improvement exist in curriculum relevance and support mechanisms. Enhancing clinical simulations and revising curricular components could better align the NRP with the practical demands of clinical environments, leading to improved patient care and reduced turnover costs.
