title: ENGAGE: A Different New Nurse Orientation Program.
abstract: General new nurse orientation is often perceived as a program consisting of several long days of passively receiving information about an institution's policies, procedures, and other regulatory matters. As a result, orientation may be viewed as something to endure and not enjoy. The purpose of redesigning the new nurse orientation into ENGAGE (Essential Nursing Guidance and Growth Experience) was to make the general new nurse orientation program more engaging and meaningful, as well as fun.
