Arizona Transition to Practice Program 

Increasing retention for registered nurses is the cornerstone of the Arizona Transition to Practice Program, as the program provides an additional level of support for new nurses who are transitioning from academia to practice and for nurses moving to new specialty areas.

  • Standardized evidence-based curriculum that complements onboarding.

  • Access to clinical resources and a community of new graduate nurses across the state.

  • New graduate clinical and professional development support throughout the first year of practice.

  • Emergency preparedness and resilience is cultivated through the program.

  • Training and support are provided to key players at the hospitals.

  • Mentors and preceptors are eligible for stipends.
