National Rural Health Association Webinar πŸ–₯️

Rural healthcare leaders know the cost of losing good nurses β€” especially new graduates. With nearly 30% of new nurses leaving their first job within a year, it’s time to look beyond the usual fixes. In this educational session, you’ll explore what’s working in rural hospitals right now β€” from stronger onboarding to building a culture of engagement that keeps nurses invested long after orientation ends.

Nicole Weathers, MSN, RN, NPD-BC, a nursing professional development specialist with over a decade of experience supporting rural hospitals, will share research-backed insights and practical strategies rural facilities are using to reduce turnover and build stronger teams β€” even with limited resources.

You’ll leave with:
β€’ Evidence-based insights into why new graduate nurses leave β€” and what keeps them engaged.
β€’ Practical engagement strategies rural hospitals are using to improve retention.
β€’ A clear understanding of how structured transition programs β€” including nurse residencies β€” fit into a broader rural workforce strategy.

Bring your questions β€” and leave with ideas you can put to work immediately.
