Abstract:
Research illustrates a clear gap between academic and practice facilities concerning new graduate nurses. Nursing programs are charged with training nursing graduates who can provide safe, quality patient care. One way to enhance the quality of patient care and aid with retention of new graduate nurses in health care facilities is through academic-practice partnerships. This article describes the planning, implementation, and evaluation of a partnership between a health care facility and an associate of applied science nursing degree program to aid with registered nurse retention and quality patient care.
