Keep your PTAP® program continuously ready
Capture evidence as the program runs so accreditation preparation is continuous, not a scramble before submission.
Centralize your writing
Proven templates, exemplar identification, and a single writing surface replace scattered files and manual document handoffs.
Monitor outcomes easily
Track first-year retention, competency progression, and resident confidence with executive-ready reporting across cohorts.
Collect evidence as you go
Capture evidence as the program runs so submission preparation is continuous, not a scramble before the deadline.
Accelerate recognition readiness
Standardized PTAP® workflows shorten the path from program kickoff to submission and keep multiple cohorts moving in parallel.

Purpose-built for every PTAP® workflow
From document writing and cohort tracking to preceptor support and outcomes analytics, NELP replaces fragmented tools with one platform purpose-built for your PTAP® journey.
Centralized Document Writing

Auto-identified Story Mapping
Surface exemplar stories from across your program and apply them across the entire PTAP® application, with cross-mapping to Magnet® and Pathway to Excellence® where applicable.
- Stories auto-identified from cohort activity, preceptor logs, and outcomes data, applied across every component (not just one)
- Built-in gap analysis surfaces missing exemplars before submission deadlines compress
- Shared exemplar database with Magnet® and Pathway to Excellence® so one story can support multiple designations

Cohort Management
Run concurrent residencies, fellowships, and specialty transitions with independent timelines, milestone sets, and preceptor assignments.
- Aggregate cohort metrics alongside individual nurse profiles
- Specialty tracks with configurable curriculum and competencies
- Real-time visibility into preceptor assignments and resident progression

Preceptor & Mentor Management
Match preceptors to residents, capture feedback at the point of mentoring, and track preceptor development against PTAP® requirements.
- Specialty and capacity-based preceptor matching
- Digital feedback collection on every mentoring interaction
- Preceptor effectiveness data PTAP® reviewers can see

Curriculum Documentation
Document evidence-based learning activities and educational components with PTAP®-mapped templates and curriculum versioning.
- Curriculum versioning tied to specific cohort assignments
- Mapped to evidence-based transition standards
- Reviewer-ready exports for PTAP® submission

Outcomes Tracking & Reporting
Measure first-year retention, competency attainment, resident confidence, and program effectiveness with built-in analytics.
- First-year retention tied directly to residency completion
- Competency progression with longitudinal trend reporting
- Benchmark comparisons and executive-ready summaries

Built for every role driving PTAP® success
First-year RN turnover hits your workforce capital harder than almost any line item, but you cannot quantify whether your residency is actually moving the needle.
Live readiness across the entire PTAP® application, retention dashboards tied to residency completion, and defensible executive summaries ready for board and leadership conversations.
Running concurrent cohorts across med/surg, ICU, ED, and specialty tracks means stitching together evaluations, preceptor matches, and competency data by hand.
Concurrent cohort management, preceptor assignment tools, and PTAP® evidence compiled as the program runs (not the week before submission).
Your feedback lives in your head between shifts. Competency validation is a paper form that disappears into a binder before anyone sees a trend.
Digital feedback at the point of mentoring, structured competency validation, and visible preceptor effectiveness data PTAP® reviewers can see.
You cannot see where you are in your transition, what is expected next, or how your competency progression compares to expectations.
Visual milestone tracking, competency progression aligned to PTAP® standards, and a portfolio that flows directly into your Digital Clinical Ladder.
