Abstract

Health care organizations face the challenge of needing newly licensed nurses to fill positions and facilitate competent care for patients. Wide variation in graduate nurse orientation programs, a growing complexity of care, and high graduate nurse turnover rates led to the development of nurse residency programs. The historical perspectives of two nursing pioneers involved in the development of a national model for nurse residency programs provide context to the importance of creating a vision, providing leadership, and applying an evidence-based rationale to structure a series of learning and work experiences designed to support graduate nurses as they transition into their first professional nursing position.
