Abstract:
To prepare new graduate nurses for the work of the future, the Iowa Action Coalition identified implementation of nurse residency as a top priority. A taskforce of Iowa nurse leaders developed a turn-key program for all sizes and types of health care organizations, available as all online and blended options. Implementation provided statistically significant outcomes similar to traditional programs. Innovation continues to drive the program with transition to an RN residency apprenticeship. This work is a testament to how innovation can be used to prepare our nursing workforce for the future, foster collaboration through partnerships, and advance nursing research.
