Abstract
As the nursing shortage in the United States continues, many health care organizations are challenged with nurse retention for a myriad of reasons including the well-known academia-practice gap. One strategy that has proven successful to retain the next-generation of nurses is a Nurse Residency Program-a series of learning experiences and targeted support strategies throughout a nurse's first year of practice. Data from a national Nurse Residency Program reveal the significant impact nurse leaders play in successful transition of newly licensed nurses to practice. By understanding the challenges faced by newly licensed nurses and implementing effective strategies, nurse leaders can positively impact retention, mitigating the education-practice gap and promoting the delivery of safe and high-quality patient care.
