Description
The first two years determine whether a new nurse builds a lasting career or exits the profession altogether. Panelists explore mentorship models, workload management, and support structures that keep early-career nurses engaged, confident, and progressing. Attendees leave with actionable ideas for reducing early attrition and setting new graduates up for long-term success.
