A new program in New Jersey is designed to make it easier for new nurses to get into the profession, the Star-Ledger reports.
Called the Institute for Nursing Excellence's Nursing Orientation Unit for RN Integration, Support, and Health (NOURISH), it's a dedicated orientation unit where new nurses get "support and prioritizing well-being," according to the program's website.
"This environment provides for the assimilation of new staff members into the team, goal-directed precepting, direct and timely two-way feedback, and ongoing support and mentoring," the website says.

NOURISH is available at Cooperman Barnabas Medical Center, RWJUH Somerset, and Community Medical Center in New Jersey.
