Nurse Residency Program
The Nurse Residency Program (NRP) is a transition to practice program supporting new graduate nurses during their first year of practice as a registered professional nurse. All new graduate nurses hired into their first RN position are automatically enrolled in the nurse residency program. The program at NewYork-Presbyterian is an accredited practice transition program from the American Nurses Credentialing Center’s (ANCC) Commission on Accreditation in Practice Transition Program (PTAP).
This program provides nurses the opportunity to enhance their professional growth, leadership and evidence-based practice skills. The NRP program assists in bridging the gap between academia in practice in the area of leadership, quality outcomes and professional role. In 2022 there were over 1000 nurse residents in the program. The overall Nurse Residency Program retention rate was 94%which exceeds the Vizient national benchmark of 86.1 %. The Department of Nursing Professional Development provided additional opportunities to assist our newest nurses such as skills clinics and “back to basics” education series.
Research Fellowship Program
The Academic-Practice Research Fellowship is a structured certificate program for NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital nurses to gain formal guidance and mentorship from nursing school partners. Faculty from Columbia Nursing School of Nursing, Case Western University, and City University of New York serve as mentors in the conduct and dissemination of research. Fellows are paired with a PhD-prepared mentor and complete a research study during the two-year fellowship program. Fellows are provided dedicated time to complete their studies. Research studies focus on a broad range of issues in nursing and healthcare such as improving the therapeutic nurse-patient relationship, moral distress, evaluating obstetric nurses’ perception of implicit bias and other topic areas.
