A key component in the low retention rate among new graduate nurses is the experience of burnout and job dissatisfaction that comes with caring for patients at the bedside.1 With such little experience at the bedside, NGNs fear the consequences such as lacking adequate skills to mitigate the risks of what the nursing profession entails, resulting in a turnover rate of 17% of new-to practice nurses within their first year of employment.2 The implementation of nursing residency programs has been found to increase NGN competency while simultaneously decreasing the incidence of nursing turnover.en-USNew graduatesNursing graduatesPoster
