Protect Your Investment in Graduate Nurses

Create a Workforce Where New Nurses Stay, Grow, and Thrive

Graduate nurses represent the future of your workforce. Yet too many organizations continue to lose newly licensed nurses during their first year, not because they lack clinical preparation, but because they are unprepared to navigate bullying, incivility, and disruptive workplace behaviors.

According to the 2025 NSI National Health Care Retention & RN Staffing Report, graduate nurse turnover has reached 29%, placing tremendous financial and operational strain on healthcare organizations. 



Every graduate nurse who leaves represents lost investments in:

  • Recruitment
  • Onboarding
  • Nurse Residency
  • Preceptor Development
  • Productivity
  • Team Stability

• • •

Most organizations invest heavily in clinical competence. Far fewer prepare graduate nurses for the realities of today's workplace culture.

Why Do So Many Graduate Nurses Leave?

Clinical knowledge alone is no longer enough. Today's graduate nurses enter healthcare environments where they frequently encounter:

  • Bullying
  • Incivility
  • Communication breakdowns
  • Fear of speaking up
  • Emotional exhaustion
  • Early disengagement


Healthcare organizations invest heavily in recruiting, onboarding, residency programs, and preceptor development.

But few prepare graduate nurses to confidently navigate the interpersonal challenges that often determine whether they stay.

Without practical skills to address these challenges, many talented nurses choose to leave the profession or your organization long before reaching their full potential. 



The Solution

The Graduate Nurse Anti-Bullying Curriculum

The Graduate Nurse Anti-Bullying Curriculum (GN-ABC) integrates seamlessly into your existing residency program, equipping graduate nurses with the communication skills, confidence, and resilience needed to successfully transition into professional practice.

Rather than adding another initiative, GN-ABC strengthens the one you've already invested in. The curriculum provides evidence-based education that helps graduate nurses recognize, address, and professionally respond to bullying, incivility, and disruptive workplace behaviors.
