Abstract
Background: Nurse practitioners (NP) are among the fastest-growing occupations in the United States. NPs provide high-quality care and promote health equity by bridging critical gaps in health care delivery. Despite this essential role, new graduates report feeling inadequately prepared as they transition to clinical practice.
Method: To address this, a steering committee of NP program leaders in North Carolina developed a pilot project to improve role transition preparedness. They created a webinar series on seven key topics, hosted by the North Carolina Nurses Association (NCNA), and surveyed graduating NP students for feedback.
Results: The webinars were well-received and deemed useful for future practice.
Conclusion: The goals of the project were successfully met, and the committee recommended expanding the series statewide with the NCNA's support. This pilot program offers a model for enhancing NP education and easing the transition to clinical practice. [J Nurs Educ. 2025;64(X):XXX-XXX.].
