Description
Summary:	Retaining qualified nurses at the bedside can have a positive impact on patient care safety and quality. Without support and resilience, nurses may become emotionally exhausted within the first year of practice. Nursing professional development educators must recognize that new nurses often struggle with stressors related to nursing and take the appropriate steps to help them build resilience. This article describes an education project implemented to assist new nurses in developing their resilience. It describes the process and outcomes of a resiliency training program infused into one healthcare facility's nurse residency program and may inform nursing professional development educators planning similar programs.
