We know that when nurses come together to collaborate, they are able to discuss best practices, solve problems, and have support from their peers. Our AdventHealth for Children New-to-Practice RN Residency Program is a 12-month program that provides nurse residents the opportunity to hone critical-thinking and evidence-based decision-making skills. It also provides a supportive environment for nurse residents to get together periodically and share experiences, ensuring they provide the best quality of care for our patients. Evidence shows that Nurse Residency Programs increase critical competencies, reduce nursing turnover, and help nurse residents achieve higher levels of patient-centered care.
