Area of Science:

Gerontological Nursing
Healthcare Workforce Development
Nursing Education

Background:

Nurses in long-term care (LTC) face complex patient needs without adequate specialized training, contributing to burnout and high turnover.
Existing nurse residency programs (NRPs) effectively support novice registered nurses (RNs) but are rarely adapted for the unique LTC environment.
A gap exists in targeted educational programs to prepare RNs for the specific demands of LTC nursing.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop and implement an online nurse residency program (NRP) tailored for the long-term care (LTC) setting.
To equip novice LTC nurses with essential knowledge and skills for success and retention in their roles.
To address the need for specialized gerontological nursing and leadership training within the LTC workforce.

Main Methods:

An online LTC-specific nurse residency program (NRP) was created by the University of Utah Geriatric Education Consortium.
Novice RNs (<1 year LTC experience) were paired with experienced nurse mentors within their facilities.
Curricular modules, delivered synchronously and asynchronously, covered leadership, communication, geriatric care, quality improvement, and regulatory aspects.

Main Results:

The distance-based online format provided flexibility for nurses to gain expertise.
The program aimed to enhance gerontological nursing and leadership competencies.
Mentorship component facilitated practical application of learned skills within the LTC setting.

Conclusions:

An online LTC nurse residency program (NRP) can effectively deliver specialized gerontological nursing and leadership education.
This flexible, distance-based approach supports professional development and may improve retention of nurses in the LTC sector.
Addressing the training gap for LTC nurses is crucial for enhancing patient care quality and workforce stability.
