Transition to Practice

Strengthen skills, confidence and satisfaction for novice nurses

Offer your new nurses the learning and support to help them thrive on your care team.

Transition to Practice benefits

With Transition to Practice you can:

Accelerate your new nurses’ skills and confidence

New nurses are entering a demanding environment, with more complex patient needs and larger patient-to-nurse ratios than ever before.1 They’re also getting their licenses faster, which limits their exposure to real-world clinical care. These factors mean many of today’s novice nurses are transitioning to practice feeling isolated, unsure, and overwhelmed. In fact, 50% of them report missing signs of life-threatening conditions.2 With Elsevier’s Transition to Practice virtual learning, you can build new nurses’ professional skills and confidence to deliver top quality patient care.
