Abstract
For newly graduated nurses (NGNs), the characteristically challenging and dynamic period of transition from student to professional practitioner is being further strained by global crises and the uncertainty and insecurity they motivate, health care systems and institutional restructuring, and extreme workload burdens. A novel approach to aiding the transition of NGNs is detailed in this article, culminating in the offering of an inclusive framework of potential strategies aimed at supporting NGNs and those who lead, manage, and educate them. This approach outlines strategies of support deliverable by both centralized and local means and acknowledging contemporary needs such as workload burdens and generationally-sensitive employee needs. Nursing The Future is a platform that uniquely situates an evidence-based, grassroots-driven response to the needs of NGNs, while encouraging collaborative partnering of health care institutions with governmental, professional, and regional advanced education bodies. This is the second article in a 2-part series that builds on the historical and developmental intents of Nursing The Future as an organization and outlines how evidence-informed, creative, and affordable grassroots-driven supports may be offered to NGNs for the purpose of sustaining and advancing our future nurse professionals.
