Abstract

Nursing leaders at Yale New Haven Health System identified a need among new-graduate nurses for further support beyond their accredited new-graduate residency program. The Clinical Nurse Transition Coach (CNTC) program focused on moving from individual tasks to caring for the entire patient, fostered by focused mentoring and education. The CNTC nurses were experienced and worked with a team of 10 new-graduate nurses.
