A gap was identified in having enough competent charge nurses and shift coordinators on a Family Beginnings unit. To mitigate the gap, immediate evidence-based practice solutions were developed, and a new nurse leadership program was implemented.

Program outcomes included increased self-perceived competence levels and decreased unit turnover.
