Nurse residency programs were developed to improve novice nurse competencies, mitigate burnout, lower recruitment costs and nurse attrition, and the quality of patient care. The Office of Academic Affiliations (OAA), US Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), established a 12-month postbaccalaureate nurse residency (PB-RNR) program at 49 sites to develop competent, confident, practice-ready registered nurses equipped with the knowledge and skills to care for veterans. The OAA evaluation of the PB-RNR program demonstrated improved new nurse graduate competence, confidence, recruitment, and retention rates after completion of training at participating VA medical facilities.

This study examined individuals' end-of-life care use under long-term care insurance in older care facilities and investigated the relocation frequency among terminally ill older residents of nursing facilities using receipt data.
