Abstract
Implementing a personalized professional growth pathway in a nurse residency program at a Midwest health system aimed to enhance newly licensed nurse satisfaction and retention. Replacing the traditional evidence-based practice project with the “Professional Growth Pathway” tailored to nurses' interests and career goals resulted in a 93% retention rate at program completion, surpassing the national average. This innovative approach fosters individual development, aiding recruitment and retention efforts amidst staffing challenges.
