Abstract

The premature turnover of newly licensed registered nurses is a costly problem prompting leaders to consider new orientation approaches. This article describes the “Best Fit Orientation”—an innovative approach for onboarding newly licensed registered nurses. It features centralized hiring, individualized orientation on diverse units, and realistic job preview tenets promoting self-evaluation, change management, relationship building, and “best fit” unit selection. Positive evaluations, high retention, and minimal added costs make this program very attractive.
