N2 - Formal resilience training to protect mental health among early career nurses is scarce. This pilot study investigated acceptability, feasibility and preliminary efficacy of a self-guided training curriculum, “Carnelian Connection” among new graduate nurses. We recruited 26 nurse residents (<2 years experience) from a suburban hospital. Participants completed presurverys/postsurveys with valid measures evaluating mental health (e.g., depressed mood, anxiety), occupational outcomes (e.g., burnout, job satisfaction), and accepabilty/feasibility ratings. Stress and anxiety significantly decreased. Participants endorsed high satisfaction and likelihood to continue using skills. Pilot results demonstrate initial training efficacy and may offer a valuable resource for early-career nurses.
