Abstract

Nursing professional development practitioners are partners in practice transitions for new graduate nurses. Organizations seeking Magnet® designation need to demonstrate how new graduate nurses transition in the written documentation submitted to the American Nurses Credentialing Center. This article explores current strategies used by Magnet®-designated organizations and connects the strategies to the six new elements of the new 2019 Magnet® criterion, Structural Empowerment 9.
