Abstract

Background: Healthcare faces a nursing crisis with high turnover, burnout, and faculty shortages, which requires innovative educational approaches that bridge the gap between education and practice. Purpose: To present the conceptual model and design of a statewide, trans-institutional academic-practice collaboration that holistically builds nurses' resilience and ethical practice across the education-to-practice continuum. Method: Development of the Renewal, Resilience, and Retention (R3) Initiative based on adaptation of the Mindful Ethical Practice and Resilience Academy (MEPRA), social ecological framework, and stakeholder input across eight schools of nursing and five hospitals in Maryland. Results: The R3 Initiative created a scalable conceptual model with four foundational constructs supported by 42 evidence-informed educational resources, faculty development workshops, and multi-tiered learning communities that enable integration of resilience content into existing curricula without major redesign. Conclusions: The R3 Initiative provides a replicable framework for building nursing workforce resilience through coordinated education-practice partnerships and evidence-informed interventions that address individual and systemic factors contributing to burnout and disengagement. © 2025
