    This study evaluated a bicultural training program for new graduate nurses, finding it cost-effective by reducing turnover. Program cost data can help other institutions assess similar training initiatives.

    Area of Science:

    • Nursing Education
    • Healthcare Management
    • Organizational Psychology

    Background:

    • New graduate nurses face significant adjustment challenges in the work environment.
    • High turnover rates among early-career nurses impact healthcare institutions financially and operationally.
    • Bicultural training programs aim to facilitate smoother integration into the professional nursing world.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To examine the cost-effectiveness of a bicultural training program for new graduate nurses.
    • To compare the costs of the bicultural training program with the financial savings achieved through reduced nurse turnover.
    • To provide data and methodology for other institutions to evaluate the cost-effectiveness of bicultural training.

    Main Methods:

    • Analysis of data from a bicultural training program implemented in eight medical center hospitals.
