The Supplemental Training to Assist the Resident/Fellow's Success Program: Navigating Challenges and Finding Success.

Abstract

Nurses frequently encounter challenges during their nurse residency or fellowship programs. To promote success and address practice deficits constructively, nursing professional development (NPD) practitioners implemented the Supplemental Training to Assist the Resident/Fellow's Success program-an evidence-based, nonpunitive remediation model. Over 3 years, 22 nurses participated, resulting in a 91% 1-year retention rate. The program emphasizes tailored education and professional growth over disciplinary action, aligning with contemporary best practices in nurse development and retention.
