Implementing a residency program for the acute care nurse practitioner.
A clinical residency program for acute care nurse practitioners (ACNPs) was developed to facilitate the strengthening of practice competencies and role performance. Strengthening collaboration between physicians and ACNPs and supporting the growth of ACNPs through supportive and individualized learning opportunities were key components to a highly successful initiative.
