Abstract

The transition from registered nurse (RN) to nurse practitioner (NP) is difficult for many new graduates, leading to low job satisfaction and poor retention with high cost to the employer (Fitzpatrick & Gripshover, 2016; Horner 2017). A mentorship program was developed and implemented to improve transition to practice.
