The first year of NNP practice can be exciting and challenging. Working in an environment that supports the new graduate during role transition has been shown to help novice APRNs develop into competent, confident clinicians. Structured, comprehensive practice transition programs (PTPs) are emerging as one way to meet the needs of new NPs as well as the institutions they practice in.

If you are curious about the transition from NNP graduate to autonomous NNP, please the join presenters as they discuss the implementation and outcomes of one PTP for new graduate NNPs, an accredited 12-month NNP Fellowship.
