Van Patten & Bartone (2019). The impact of mentorship, preceptors, and debriefing on the quality of program experiences. |
The purpose is to outline factors associated with positive nurse residency experience. |
Quantitative descriptive study using a cross-sectional design. |
The study found that the mean for predictor variables indicated that nurses found the residency experience to be positive along with their preceptor and debriefing experiences. The intercorrelations between the continuous study variables (preceptorship and debriefing) with residency experiences were statistically significant. |
It was recommended to that:- a more detailed examination of the specific dimensions of mentorship, preceptors, and debriefing nurses be conducted. a study with a qualitative or mixed method design be done to generate themes that explain the perspectives of participants with regard to their residency experiences. |

Shinners, J., Africa, L., Mallory, C., & Durham, H. (2021). Versant’s Nurse Residency Program: A Retrospective Review. Nursing Economics, 39(5), 239-246. |
The purpose of this study was to analyze data outcomes from over 6,700 NGNs who completed the Versant Nurse Residency. |
This retrospective study was conducted between 2009 and 2019. |
Results revealed organizational commitment, nurse-work satisfaction, and conditions of work effectiveness have the greatest impact on turnover intent. Evidence reflects that a specific length of residency immersion time does not have better outcomes than others. |
While the entire program is 1 year in length, it was recommended that programs should be adjusted based on competency profile for the specialty and the learning needs of the NGN. |

Gierach, M., White, L., Miller, T., (2024). Orientation of new graduate registered nurses post pandemic: A follow-up study. |
The purpose of this study was to identify changes during the orientation processes since the COVID-19 pandemic. |
This is a non-experimental descriptive study |
This study showed 75% of 16 respondents said that the availability of support and resources afforded to the new graduate nurses has changed since the pandemic, 69% stated that greater attention has been paid to mental health/supported needed by the new graduates. The pandemic impacted orientation practices in that inexperienced nurses precepting new graduate nurses. Another finding was that COVID-19 brought on habits that were not evident prior to the pandemic, such as nurses being left to just survive. |
It was recommended that a successful transition to practice could be supported by academic institutions infusing specific topics and providing supportive work environment. Also, leadership should allot more time in conducting meaningful conversations, debriefing, and checking with the new graduates, which promotes well-being and develops trust. |

The purpose of this study was to examine the impact of COVID-19 and preparedness for professional practice of new graduate nurses. |
The design used was a mixed methods descriptive study. |
The study identified the need for preceptor support, guidance, teaching and continued practice of skills. |
It was recommended that further studies be conducted on the impact of COVID-19 on new graduate nurses in their clinical experiences, competency, confidence, resiliency, and retention. |
