Bridge the Gap:
Empower New NPs from Day One

Boost your group’s new-hire orientation program with targeted training designed to bridge the gap between graduate education and real-world clinical practice.

Essential Training for New NPs  

Developed by leading nurse practitioners Dr. Margaret Fitzgerald and Dr. Sally Miller, this comprehensive learning program is designed to bridge the gap between graduate education and real-world clinical practice. Tailored for novice nurse practitioners (NPs), the curriculum covers the top diagnoses, treatment protocols, and prescribing essentials needed to confidently manage patients in primary care, urgent care, telehealth, and ambulatory settings. 

What does the Practice Ready Program provide you and your NPs?  

  • Practice-Ready Training – Focuses on real-world clinical application to help newly graduated NPs transition into independent, confident practice. 
  • Strong Pharmacology Component – With 28.95 of pharmacology CE hours, the program supports safe and effective prescribing. 
  • TRC’s Learning Management Portal – Assign the Practice Ready Program in just a few clicks, track your learners’ progress, send automated reminders to ensure completion, and identify areas for remediation and further training.  
  • Easy CE Tracking – Participating students will receive 43+ CE hours (29 pharmacology) upon completing this program. What’s more, they can use our CE organizer to easily track and manage their CE requirements and completions, including any state-mandated requirements, to ensure they are in compliance.

For an additional fee, we offer optional monthly one-hour Q&A and case review sessions with expert Fitzgerald faculty, providing practical guidance and real-world case discussions with your new NPs.
