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.

This book was released on 2012 with total page 124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: This project was conducted to examine learning needs, satisfaction, and turnover intention before and after completion of the Nurse Residency Program for new graduate nurses hired at the University of California (UC) San Diego Medical Center. Research has shown the necessity and importance of the implementation of a nurse residency program, not only for new graduate nurses, but for the healthcare institution as well. A convenience sample of new graduate nurses participating in the Cohort Eight Nurse Residency Program were surveyed before the start and following a 6 month program. The data suggests that after participating in the 6 month long Nurse Residency Program, new graduate nurses were apt to be more knowledgeable on skill acquisition, more satisfied in UC San Diego Medical Center with fewer uncertainties in their professional practice, and their turnover intention had decreased from the presurvey results.

This book was released on 2018 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: " Despite the evidence supporting the benefits of Nurse Residency Programs, anecdotal evidence suggested that the curriculum does not provide a focus on the lack of confidence new graduate nurses have transitioning into practice, nor does it provide resources to enhance confidence development. This evidence-based change project included new graduate nurses who were enrolled in a transition to practice, Nurse Residency Program (NRP) cohort. The participants engaged in a quality improvement project that provided confidence building exercises and resources to increase inter-professional confidence as an addendum to their current NRP curriculum. A confidence building curriculum addendum project was implemented during months five and six of their twelve month program. The data to measure the outcomes of this evidence-based change project was collected using the Casey-Fink Graduate Nurse Experience Survey as a pretest/posttest. New graduate nurse residency participants (N=10) showed a limited overall improvement in their confidence/comfort level post intervention. One area of noted increase was having less difficulty organizing patient care needs (mean increase 24.14%). The survey results suggest numerous possibilities for improvement of new graduate nurses transitioning into practice-such as confidence building initiatives, to include seasoned nursing staff education on the importance of their role in the onboarding of new graduate nurses.

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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New graduate nurses make up 10% of an organization's nursing staff (Hopkins & Bromley, 2016). New graduates are faced with the challenge of transitioning to practice from the classroom setting. Nurse residency programs are designed to provide new graduate nurses with a resource in their first year of practice. An integrative review of literature was conducted to analyze components of nurse residency programs associated with their respective outcomes. The implementation of a nurse residency program provides the new graduate nurse with support, education, and clinical skills required of a registered nurse. Proposed analysis of this literature review will be presented. -- Abstract

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 Residency Mentor Program for New Graduate Nurses written by Shannon Abrams and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A high demand for experienced nurses and staggering turnover rates among new graduate nurses has resulted in a need for change. Studies show that a high percentage of new nurses resign from their first place of employment within the first year due to inexperience, inadequate training and an overwhelming work environment. To combat this issue there has been the development of residency programs. A residency program is a 12 month course that will train and educate new graduate nurses by assigning mentors. The mentors will be senior nurses who are experienced in various areas of the clinical setting in which the new nurse will be employed. The program will consist of on the job training throughout the course of the year- long orientation, assisting the new nurse with transitioning from student to professional. There is a shortage in nurses per unit in acute care settings and the patient to nurse ratio is causing a variety of issues including a decrease in patient satisfaction (Jones 2007). With an increase in patient ratio per nurse there is an increased chance of medical errors, mortality rates and length of stay for patients. Studies have shown that a residency program can decrease the turnover rate among new graduate nurses.

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 Exploring New Nurses Perceptions of a Nurse Residency Program written by Chineda Hill and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 117 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Health care facilities across the United States have implemented innovative approaches such as nurse residency programs to facilitate a successful transition to practice for new nurses. Many nurse residency programs evaluate their effectiveness by assessing critical thinking abilities, retention, return on investment, and job satisfaction. Evaluations are conducted using surveys and focus groups. However, there is a void in the literature that examines the effectiveness of a new nurse residency program from the participants' perspective; particularly asking the resident how the nurse residency program has advanced them to become a more competent professional. The theoretical model framing this investigation is Patricia Benner's novice to expert theory. The purpose of this qualitative case study is to understand participants' perceptions of a nurse residency program, specifically looking at how the program transitioned them from advanced beginner to competent nurse professional. The study sample included eight participants employed in a health care facility located in the southeastern United States. Open-ended research questions were designed to elicit the new nurses' perceptions of the effectiveness of a nurse residency program. Data collection was conducted using interviews and audio recordings. Emerging themes indicated that pre-experiences and expectations, leadership and professional development, stress and coping, supportive cohort, program improvements, and reflection on confidence and competency were fundamental elements for an effective nurse residency program. One recommendation from this study was for pre-residency assessment tools to be given to residents for customization to better facilitate the transition of new nurses to a competent professional.
