Newly graduated nurses are concerned about their abilities to perform as nurses. They are worried about their skills and abilities and about advancing to independently manage a full patient load. New graduate nurses also deal with the emotional and physical realities of full‐time work and the transition from the role of student into professional nurse. To help support this transition, all new nurses are included in our year‐long Nurse Residency Program. This program provides them with a monthly opportunity to learn new skills and affirm their current skills and abilities through a variety of learning activities, including simulation. The new nurses also discuss their challenges and experiences when discussing tales from the bedside. They learn how to take the theory of EBP and apply it to a unit‐based issue. They create change within the Medical Center through their EBP projects! This often is the highlight of the first year of transition.
