Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Future of Nursing explores how nurses' roles, responsibilities, and education should change significantly to meet the increased demand for care that will be created by health care reform and to advance improvements in America's increasingly complex health system. At more than 3 million in number, nurses make up the single largest segment of the health care work force. They also spend the greatest amount of time in delivering patient care as a profession. Nurses therefore have valuable insights and unique abilities to contribute as partners with other health care professionals in improving the quality and safety of care as envisioned in the Affordable Care Act (ACA) enacted this year. Nurses should be fully engaged with other health professionals and assume leadership roles in redesigning care in the United States. To ensure its members are well-prepared, the profession should institute residency training for nurses, increase the percentage of nurses who attain a bachelor's degree to 80 percent by 2020, and double the number who pursue doctorates. Furthermore, regulatory and institutional obstacles-including limits on nurses' scope of practice-should be removed so that the health system can reap the full benefit of nurses' training, skills, and knowledge in patient care. In this book, the Institute of Medicine makes recommendations for an action-oriented blueprint for the future of nursing.

Book excerpt: New graduate nurses encounter "transition shock" when they enter the workplace, especially in acute care settings such as hospitals. New graduate nurses have a difficult time transitioning into the work environment because they are unprepared by their academic training for the realities they will face and they often don't have the proper support in place to guide them through the transition. This leads to a high attrition rate of up to 30% within the first 18 months of employment which costs hospitals and health care facilities. High nurse turnover of new graduate nurses who aren't prepared for the complexities of clinical practice affect the quality of care provided. Patient outcomes are negatively affected because it often leaves hospitals dealing with a shortage of experienced nurses, which they compensate for by having high patient to nurse ratios. New graduate nurses must develop the necessary critical thinking skills to handle higher acuity patients and difficult situations, develop confidence in their clinical skills, and adapt to peer relationships. One solution to the "transition shock" that new graduate nurses face is the implementation of nurse residency programs. Nurse residency programs are shown to help new graduates have a better transition into the workplace and increase nurse retention. This paper discusses the problem of new graduate nurse turnover, the benefits of nurse residency programs, and the numerous research studies which have been done showing the success of nurse residency programs on new nurse graduate retention and job satisfaction. It also discusses how to implement a nurse residency program and monitor and evaluate its success.

This book was released on 2016-03-22 with total page 221 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nurses make up the largest segment of the health care profession, with 3 million registered nurses in the United States. Nurses work in a wide variety of settings, including hospitals, public health centers, schools, and homes, and provide a continuum of services, including direct patient care, health promotion, patient education, and coordination of care. They serve in leadership roles, are researchers, and work to improve health care policy. As the health care system undergoes transformation due in part to the Affordable Care Act (ACA), the nursing profession is making a wide-reaching impact by providing and affecting quality, patient-centered, accessible, and affordable care. In 2010, the Institute of Medicine (IOM) released the report The Future of Nursing: Leading Change, Advancing Health, which made a series of recommendations pertaining to roles for nurses in the new health care landscape. This current report assesses progress made by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation/AARP Future of Nursing: Campaign for Action and others in implementing the recommendations from the 2010 report and identifies areas that should be emphasized over the next 5 years to make further progress toward these goals.

Download or read book Review of the Nurse Residency Programs written by Laura J. Carr and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The newly graduated nurse remains at high risk for leaving the nursing profession within the first year of entering the nursing workforce. Evidence based studies have reported that some medical centers report retention rates of only 55% in their first year of employment for the newly graduated nurse. Additional evidence based practice have also reported that 31% of these nurses intend to leave the nursing profession in the first three months of employment. This continues to enhance the nursing shortage issue that places the current nursing workforce at risk for burnout which can cause errors that lead to an increase risk for patient safety. Hospitals that have adopted the nurse residency program have reported retention rates of 89% in the first year of employment (Hillman and Foster, 2011). The information provided in this paper will review the evidence based articles that have researched the success of nurse residency programs for the newly graduated nurses. Along with the success of these programs this article will propose a similar plan to implement an equally successful plan to be initiated into nurse residency programs. The goal of this type of program is to reduce the rate of turnover among the newly graduated nurse by providing them a working unit that enhances their education after graduating their nursing programs. The cost of a unit in this nature will also be reviewed along with reports of retention rates for medical centers that have implemented a program similar in nature.
Download or read book What Effects Do Nurse Residency Programs Have on the Transition of Newly Licensed Nurses Into the Practice Environment During the First Year of Practice written by Jennifer A. Ochs and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 66 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Purpose: The purpose of this review is to compare current research on nurse residency programs and determine to what degree they assist the positive transition of new graduate nurses during the first year of practice. Design: An integrative literature review was conducted of research studies on nurse residency programs in acute care settings. Kramer's Reality Shock Theory guided this review. Methods: Research published in the U.S. between 2007-2013, was obtained from electronic data searches using the key works "new graduate nurses", "novice nurse", "reality shock", and "nurse residency programs." Outcomes were compared and synthesized into major themes. Findings: Major themes include an increase in competency, satisfaction, peer support, confidence, commitment to the profession, and retention of nurses who completed yearlong residency programs. Organizational cost savings was also found. Conclusions/Relevance: The findings support previous research recommendations that the ideal length of nurse residency programs is one year; and the essential program components include preceptors or mentors and didactic education. This study findings show advance evidence of the important effects that nurse residency programs have on new graduate nurses' transition into practice, including a reduction in reality shock.

Book excerpt: The profession of nursing is facing a huge crisis. The number of experienced nurses is shrinking and the supply of new graduate nurses is becoming abundant in number. Consequently, the new graduate nurses are the largest source for hiring. However, the new graduates are so psychologically challenged to their particular roles that almost half of them change their employer in less than 12 months of their first job and manyL quit the profession altogether according to several researched studies. As a result, there is high turnover rate, low retention rate, low confidence and competency skills, poor job satisfaction, and poor patient outcome. Hospitals and acute care facilities are struggling to find a solution to these issues. Studies have shown that new graduate residency program is the solution to these problems. Nurse residency program will be implemented with appropriate planning and measurable goals. The length of the program will be one year. Reports will be run for preprogram statistics. The program will be interactive with didactic classroom sessions and clinical component that will increase the opportunity for mastering competency skills. Preceptors will provide appropriate feedback to the graduates. Evaluation of the program will be continuous. Post program numbers will be run for statistics and comparative analysis. Once the success has been ascertained by positive results and consistency after several times, the data will be disseminated to the greater nursing community which may include national and global nursing communities. Various media resources, such as but not limited to published journals and articles, will be used to disseminate information.

Download or read book Evaluation of a Community based Nurse Residency Program written by Clara Rebecca Owings and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 145 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A secondary data analysis study was conducted to determine if newly graduated nurses benefited from participation in a 1-year University Health System Consortium/American Association of Colleges of Nursing (UHC/AACN) nurse residency program in a community hospital. The sample included data collected from 121 newly graduated nurses who completed the Casey-Fink Graduate survey at the start of program, 6 months into the program, and again at the end of the year-long program. Data included in the study span 3 years from 2012 to 2015. Participation in a community-based nurse residency provided several benefits to newly graduated nurses. There were statistically significant improvements in participants' level of comfort with communication skills, leadership capacity, ability to organize and prioritize care, and technical skills performance. Most of the participants reported decreased levels of stress and high levels of perceived support. Study participants' professional satisfaction scores did not reach statistical significance but did improve slightly during the program. Turnover of participants in the study site program decreased from 37% prior to program implementation to less than 4% in 2014. Potential cost savings of the nurse residency program for the study site added up to approximately $5 million. The results of this study contribute to the limited number of studies on this topic.

Download or read book Nurse Residency Program Use in Alabama Hospitals written by Miranda Michelle Smith and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Current literature supports the creation and implementation of nurse residency programs to support new graduate nurses as they transition into nursing practice. Additionally, nurse residency programs have been shown to increase nurse satisfaction and retention (Crimlisk et al., 2017; Olson-Sitki et al., 2012). Currently, there are only three nurse residency programs in the state of Alabama. The lack of this important post-licensure resource poses a problem for new graduate nurses who are seeking additional assistance and guidance during the transition to professional practice. This qualitative study examined the decision-making process of hospital leaders in the implementation of the nurse residency program at their facility. This study also explored factors that impacted hospital leaders' decision to implement a nurse residency program. This study found a relationship between the decision to implement a nurse residency program and the desire to increase nursing development in the facilities. The benefits that were identified included building a solid foundation, recruitment and retention, and building relationships. Other factors that influenced the hospital leaders' decision to implement the nurse residency programs were demand and excessive turnover of staff. In addition, multiple barriers such as logistics, manager buy-in, and curriculum development were identified by the hospital leaders as potential barriers to implementation. This study will also be able to help hospital leaders who are struggling with the decision to implement nurse residency programs in their facilities.

Download or read book Improving the New Graduate Nurse Residency Program Through Enhanced Preceptor Education written by Janelle Schwittay and published by . This book was released on 2022 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "New graduate nurse residency programs' primary function is to provide new graduates with clinical experience and bridge the gap between student and competent registered nurse (Walsh, 2018). While the focus of these programs is on teaching new graduates, a gap in practice has been identified when it comes to the education of the nurses that are training these new graduates. The purpose of this program evaluation was to increase preceptor feelings of preparedness for the precepting role, as well as increase preceptor education attendance rates to at least 50% of eligible nurses. This was a program evaluation with a pre-/post-test design that evaluated the impact of preceptor education in 10 registered nurses. Participants submitted surveys to evaluate their feelings of support and preparedness for their educator roles before and after the educational presentation. There was a statistically significant increase in post-education scores (M=11.2, SD=2.15) when compared to pre-education scores (M=6.6, SD=2.8); t(9) = -5.81, p=0.00025597. Furthermore, 100% of respondents had a higher total score on the post-survey than the pre-survey with a mean difference of +4.6 points +/-2.5 (SD), indicating that they felt more supported and prepared to act as preceptors after the education. By offering a preceptor education curriculum that is easily accessible, organizations will see increased attendance rates and therefore higher feelings of support and preparedness from nurse preceptors. These preceptors will then be able to teach and empower new RNs on their journey to practice, offering a smoother and safer transition to professional independence, and decreasing burnout rates and turnover costs to the healthcare organization (Trepanier et al., 2012)"--Abstract.
