Download or read book Transforming the Journey for Newly Licensed Registered Nurses A Community Based Transition to Practice Program in Ambulatory Care Settings written by Cathryn A Halford (DNP) and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract In response to the job shortage for newly licensed registered nurses (RNs), transition to practice and residency programs have been established in many areas of the country including the San Francisco Bay Area. The programs were designed as demonstration projects to assist new graduates by increasing their competence, confidence, and skills, and their employability. Evidence from new graduate programs suggests that the programs provide an important bridge that is necessary for the critical transition from classroom to clinical practice and from newly licensed RN to qualified nursing professional. The University of San Francisco (USF) Transition-To-Practice (nurse residency) program in ambulatory care described in this manuscript was developed and implemented as an innovative and alternative approach to traditional residency programs that has proven successful in increasing the employability of new RN graduates. The program provides a strategy that will enhance newly licensed nurses transition from the academic environment to the professional environment. Transition-to-practice (nurse residency programs) reflect an organizational commitment to support new nurses as they mature into competent professionals. The recent Institute of Medicine report, The Future of Nursing: Leading Change, Advancing Health (2010) predicts that in the near future nursing care will be provided less in traditional hospital settings and will instead occur in the community. Therefore it is important to expand transition programs outside of the acute care setting. Community based programs will prepare new nurses for successful practice in ambulatory care settings who will then be ready for the expected transformation of nuring care into the community. The benefits of transition-to-practice (nurse residency) programs include newly licensed RNs who will gain valuable experience in community settings and improved patient care that is an important investment in the future of healthcare.

Download or read book Impact of Simulation Experiences on Learning Transfer in New Graduate Registered Nurses written by LORI ANDERSON and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the influence of pre-work factors (healthcare experience, type of education, type and frequency of simulation exposure) and work factors (type and frequency of simulation exposure) on perceptions of transfer of learning, confidence and competence development, and RN role preparedness. The study participants consisted of 251 new graduate registered nurses obtained from the North Carolina Board of Nursing (NCBON) registered nurse licensure database. A descriptive correlation design was utilized to explore the impact of simulation on perception of gains in transfer of learning, confidence and competence development, and RN role preparedness. Frequencies and percentages, independent t-tests, and Pearson product-moment correlation were applied to the data set. The study results showed simulation activities occurred more frequently in pre-licensure programs compared to new nurse orientation programs, and higher transfer of learning gains were noted in those nurses who participated in both pre-licensure and orientation simulation activities. Further, simulation exposure in both programs had positive influences on confidence, competence, RN role preparedness and pre-licensure transfer of learning. For nurses with both pre-licensure and new nurse orientation simulation experience, moderate to strong correlations were observed in associate degree nurses, with and without previous healthcare experience, and in bachelor degree nurses with previous healthcare experience. Further research is needed on a larger representation of advanced beginner new graduates. Ideally, transfer of learning and new nurse outcome measures should be evaluated with a more diverse, national representation of new graduates. Continued research on simulation-based orientation experiences is needed as more hospitals are implementing this strategy into their new nurse transition 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.
