Download or read book Implementation of a Mentoring Program for Graduate Nurse Practitioners Newly Hired Within a Community Health Center to Increase Job Satisfaction and Decrease Turnover written by Deborah Hanks and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As a result of the current legislative changes there will be a projected shortage of about 45,000 primary care physicians by 2020 to treat the newly insured who have chronic medical conditions, especially those living in rural and urban areas who receive their medical services in community health centers. Nurse practitioners (NPs) will necessarily become and indispensible component of the national health care system to meet the needs to provide medical care for the chronically ill. Current literature confirms the growing need for experienced NPs to mentor students and inexperienced NPs to achieve excellence in practice and ensure achievement of career goals. Despite this, NP mentors are a rare commodity. During the process of becoming and advanced practice nurse, every nurse practitioner (NP) has been mentored by an experienced NP; it is not possible to become an independent NP without the support and guidance of experienced mentors. An integral part of a practice-based discipline such as advanced practice nursing requires a commitment from NPs who have previously forged the path to independence. Over the last few years, the available numbers of NP mentors have declined, resulting in limited access to health care for patients and overuse of emergency departments (EDs) for primary care services. This Capstone Project explores the financial and social impact a Community Health Center (CHC) endured in 2007 resulting from a lack of NP mentors for new hire NPs. A mentoring program was developed by the senior NP with input from colleagues at the CHC following Cohen's framework for an effective mentoring program.
Download or read book Medical Mentoring written by David Jeffrey and published by Royal College of General Practitioners. This book was released on 2014-10-30 with total page 133 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is a huge need for supportive mentoring among students, doctors in training and general practitioners. Mentoring is an effective way of supporting doctors and preventing problems. The author argues that all doctors should seek a mentor. Medical training involves transitions; school to university, student to junior doctor and trainee to GP. It is at these transition points that mentoring is most valuable. This book - Medical Mentoring - is a practical guide to using mentoring to help doctors with their professional development, support them when difficulties arise and prevent problems developing. If you're considering mentoring, want to adapt your approach or develop your mentoring skills, this is the book for you. This practical guide, illustrated by case stories will give prospective mentors the confidence to improve student/doctor relationships, defines the role of a medical mentor and the benefits of providing support to doctors and students, discusses reasons why medical students and doctors struggle during their careers, gives practical advice on identifying the student/doctor in difficulty, discusses what students/doctors value in a mentor, and offers a practical guide to mentoring using a clinical model. The book shows how clinical skills can be adapted effectively in mentoring, while acknowledging that mentees are not patients. This guide aims to give prospective mentors the confidence to improve student/doctor support and so will improve recruitment and retention of students and GPs, and enable doctors to deliver more effective patient care.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “This book is brilliant, relevant, and a must-have resource for all preceptors and those supporting the lifelong learning journey of preceptors. This edition provides updated strategies for all preceptors and the ability to develop meaningful action plans to enhance the learning journeys.” –Sylvain Trepanier DNP, RN, CENP, FAONL, FAAN SVP, Chief Nursing Officer Providence, Renton, Washington “In today’s turbulent healthcare environment, preceptors play a crucial role in the successful professional transition of nurses. The nurse tenure in acute care settings has dropped over the past years, and many of today’s preceptors are new to their roles. Precepting is both an art and a science. This new edition of Mastering Precepting provides an evidence-based road map for preceptor development and strategies to avoid preceptor burnout.” –Rose O. Sherman EdD, RN, NEA-BC, FAAN Professor Emeritus Florida Atlantic University Editor-in-Chief, Nurse Leader “Once we expected faculty to monitor students, for new graduates to ‘figure it out,’ and for a nurse with any experience to transition anywhere needed. Then, as we focused on safety and quality, we realized all those individuals needed support of some kind to acquire the new expected competencies of the role in that setting. Once again, that is what Dr. Ulrich and her colleagues have done in the third edition of Mastering Precepting, with just the right balance of theory and practicality to make this a most useful book.” –Patricia S. Yoder-Wise, EdD, RN, NEA-BC, ANEF, FAONL, FAAN Professor and Dean Emerita, Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center Co-Founder and Vice President, the Nurses Legacy Institute Editor-in-Chief, The Journal of Continuing Education in Nursing Preceptors have the power and opportunity to inspire nurses and other healthcare providers to achieve greatness. Effective precepting programs depend on two critical groups: those who organize and manage the programs and those who support, teach, and coach. Beth Ulrich and her team of expert contributing authors provide the knowledge, tools, skills, and wisdom both groups need for success. Written for staff nurses and other care providers, managers, and educators, this third edition of Mastering Precepting teaches preceptors both the science and art of precepting and empowers them to seek the support they need to be effective. For managers, it emphasizes the importance of providing preceptors with positive and supportive experiences. For educators, it provides the information and knowledge required to develop and improve preceptor programs.

Download or read book The Future of Nursing written by Institute of Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2011-02-08 with total page 700 pages. 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.

Download or read book Change Anything written by Kerry Patterson and published by Balance. This book was released on 2011-04-11 with total page 231 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A stunning approach to how individuals can not only change their lives for the better in the workplace, but also their lives away from the office, including (but not limited to) finding ways to improve one's working relationship with others, one's overall health, outlook on life, and so on. For example, why is it that 95% of all diet attempts fail? Why do New Year's Resolutions last no more than a few days? Why can't people with good intentions seem to make consistent and positive strides? Based upon the latest research in a number of psychological and medical fields, the authors of Change Anything will show that traditional will-power is not necessarily the answer to these strivings, that people are affected in their behaviors by far more subtle influences. Change Anything shows how individuals can come to understand these powerful and influential forces, and how to put these forces to work in a positive manner that brings real and meaningful results. The authors present an array of everyday examples that will change and truly empower you to reexamine the way you go about your business and life.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The decade ahead will test the nation's nearly 4 million nurses in new and complex ways. Nurses live and work at the intersection of health, education, and communities. Nurses work in a wide array of settings and practice at a range of professional levels. They are often the first and most frequent line of contact with people of all backgrounds and experiences seeking care and they represent the largest of the health care professions. A nation cannot fully thrive until everyone - no matter who they are, where they live, or how much money they make - can live their healthiest possible life, and helping people live their healthiest life is and has always been the essential role of nurses. Nurses have a critical role to play in achieving the goal of health equity, but they need robust education, supportive work environments, and autonomy. Accordingly, at the request of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, on behalf of the National Academy of Medicine, an ad hoc committee under the auspices of the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine conducted a study aimed at envisioning and charting a path forward for the nursing profession to help reduce inequities in people's ability to achieve their full health potential. The ultimate goal is the achievement of health equity in the United States built on strengthened nursing capacity and expertise. By leveraging these attributes, nursing will help to create and contribute comprehensively to equitable public health and health care systems that are designed to work for everyone. The Future of Nursing 2020-2030: Charting a Path to Achieve Health Equity explores how nurses can work to reduce health disparities and promote equity, while keeping costs at bay, utilizing technology, and maintaining patient and family-focused care into 2030. This work builds on the foundation set out by The Future of Nursing: Leading Change, Advancing Health (2011) report.
Download or read book Mentoring Nurse Practitioners in a Hospital Setting written by Rodica S. Pop and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 2009, the American Academy of Nurse Practitioners report identified more than 125, 000 Nurse Practitioners (NP) working in the United States. As the number of NPs increases and their role expands, questions about their work satisfaction and ability to learn and perform the role arise. Since NPs have to combine a nursing philosophy with a medical care model, it is often difficult to mediate the two approaches and fully understand the role. Mentoring has been successfully used to facilitate role transition and role understanding for nurses and physicians, but has been rarely studied in NPs. Although widely used in nursing and medicine, the concept of mentoring is poorly defined and often used interchangeably with coaching and precepting, thus making program design and evaluation difficult. The purpose of this study was to develop a theory of mentoring for NPs in a hospital setting. A total of 18 participants (eight mentors and eight mentees) were interviewed to learn about their experience with mentoring. A three component mentoring process emerged from the data: forming the relationship, developing the relationship, and outcomes. While some of the themes identified in this study have been previously discussed, others like journey, career path, gain a friend, and defining self have never been associated with mentoring. Nurse practitioners participating in this study were continuously defining both personally and professionally in an effort to improve themselves. The journey to a successful mentoring relationship required hard work, commitment, and trust. When mentoring participants took the time to know each other and were able to build trust, the relationship moved beyond the traditional framework of formal mentoring into informal mentoring and friendship.

Download or read book Establishment of an Evidence Based Mentee Workshop for Novice Nurse Practitioners written by Martine Bell and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Background: A growing shortage of healthcare providers makes it imperative to find ways to retain employees. Mentoring of Novice Nurse Practitioners eases role transition and improves job satisfaction by serving as a bridge from academics to practice. For a mentorship to be successful, mentees must possess the knowledge and self-efficacy skills needed to be active partners in the mentor/mentee relationship. Problem: An Adult Emergency Department (AED) in a large teaching hospital that did not have a mentorship program, experienced an increase in turnover of nurse practitioners who were in the first two-years of practice attributed to role transition difficulties. Purpose: To determine if a Mentee Workshop for novice nurse practitioners using Bandura's Self-Efficacy Theory leads to acquisition of knowledge and self-efficacy skills for the mentee to successful in a mentorship and increase staff retention among this group. Methods: This quality improvement project used Plan-Do-Check-Act to guide the development of a Mentee Workshop for Novice Nurse Practitioners. Literature review was performed regarding mentoring programs and mentor/mentee training. The General Self-Efficacy Scale and Turnover Intention Scale was used pre- and post-implementation and analyzed through mode, mean, and range of scores with statistical consultation. Results/Implications: There is a gap in knowledge regarding nurse practitioner mentee training programs. The available literature considers mentoring to be a gold standard of nursing practice and a means to increase retention and self-efficacy. An evidence-based Mentee Workshop may be effective to increase retention and self-efficacy in Novice Nurse Practitioners.
