Abstract
Background: This study examines the impact of a quarterly advanced practice provider (APP) onboarding boot camp on the transition to practice for advanced practice RNs and physician assistants within an organization.
Method: The program includes didactic and simulation content covering various topics, with evaluations conducted through pre- and postintervention evaluations.
Results: Statistical analysis of evaluation responses from 78 participants showed significant improvements among APPs in comfort level, ability to differentiate between patients who were and were not sick, and understanding of pediatric emergencies.
Conclusion: The findings underscore the effectiveness of specialized onboarding initiatives in enhancing the knowledge and comfort of APPs. [J Contin Educ Nurs. 2025;56(7):277-282.].
