TL;DR
Retention among new graduates has improved significantly with the introduction of NRPs at this institution, suggesting that retention beyond 2 years is dependent on complex set of circumstances beyond the “treatment effect” of the NRP program.
Abstract
Retention among new graduates has improved significantly with the introduction of NRPs at this institution. Former NRPs report favorable assessments of the NRP, regardless of number of years since completion of the program and regardless of whether the individual remains employed in the institution. In addition, former NRs report high levels of professional accomplishments and commitment to nursing. However, without additional research, we cannot definitively tie these outcomes to the NRP.
