Transition to Practice in Nonhospital Settings

This study included 34 nonhospital settings in three states. The sites that volunteered were nursing homes and public health and home health settings. Twenty-three facilities hired 48 new nurses who were enrolled in the study between April 1, 2012, and October 31, 2012. Each site was randomized to either the study group (TTP group), which adopted the NCSBN's TTP program or the control group, which used its existing onboarding orientation program. Results are presented on competency assessment, reports of errors and safety practices, work stress, job satisfaction, and retention.
