Vizient and AACN connects members with opportunities to learn, improve and build. The Nurse Residency Program (NRP) focuses on new entry-level nurses as they transition into practice. The evidenced-based curriculum incorporates three key areas:
- Leadership
- Patient outcomes
- Professional development
By retaining new nurses, participating organizations cite the NRP as helping them obtain and maintain Magnet designation from the American Nurses Credentialing Center.
The Vizient/AACN program supports professional development with a data-driven solution allowing organizations to compare against selected peers and network with others in the NRP program. NRP empowers nurses, increases retention while reducing turnover costs, and improves patient safety.
