Background: There is an urgency to retain nurses globally. Evidence has shown that nurse residency programs promote retention of new graduate nurses. However, there is a dearth of studies examining the impact of nurse residency programs longitudinally.
Aim: To evaluate the impact of a transition-to-practice program on new graduate nurses' practice confidence and job satisfaction over 24 months.
Design: A retrospective longitudinal study.
Setting: A 1200-bed public tertiary academic hospital.
Participants: New graduate nurses from local universities who joined the hospital and were enrolled in the Graduate Nurse Residency Program (n = 104).
Methods: The program was conducted for 24 months and consisted of modules on bedside knowledge and skills, and a mentorship program with senior nurse leaders. Practice confidence and job satisfaction were measured using the Casey-Fink graduate nurse experience survey. The survey was administered four times over the 24 months as part of the program. Data was analyzed using repeated measures ANOVA.
Results: Practice confidence increased and job satisfaction decreased over the 24 months. Practice confidence total score at 6 months and an extended probation period were factors associated with attrition during the 24-month clinical practice.
Conclusions: This is the first longitudinal study to demonstrate the impact of a transition-to-practice program in a multiethnic Asian setting. The Graduate Nurse Residency Program enhanced the practice confidence of new graduate nurses.
