This book was released on 2006 with total page 30 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nursing residency programs are a tool used by hospitals to attract and retain new nursing employees. They were developed to ease the transition of a graduate nurse into the roles expected of a registered nurse in an acute care setting. In 2000, a hospital system in Washington state implemented a residency program for eligible new employees hired into the medical, surgical, and orthopedic units of two hospitals owned and perated by the system. This project evaluates the impact of this residency program in attracting and retaining new nursing employees. The study also explores the value of a registered nurse in the acute care setting and the effectiveness of preceptors in the orientation process. Methods used in this study include Likert Scale surveys that focus on the orientee's perception of preceptror support throughout the orientation process. Data supplied from the Human Resource Department was used in examining the effects of the program on retention rates. The results of the project suggest that residency programs may attract new nurses to health care facilities and bolster their self-confidence in the patient-care setting.
Book Synopsis The Effect of a New Graduate Registered Nurse Residency Program on Retention by : Virginia L. Bradley

This book was released on 2017 with total page 74 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New graduate registered nurse residency programs are being adopted as best practice by many organizations. The purpose of this thesis was to evaluate the effectiveness of two different types of programs implemented at an organization to see which produced the largest amount of retention. One group was hired directly into a nursing unit or area where orientation began. Another group was hired into a practice area and rotated through three different areas prior to being matched to a unit or area and then completing orientation. Dr. Patricia Benner's Novice to Expert Framework was used to guide this study because successful residency programs should expound onto the new graduate registered nurses educational base and should offer a variety of experiences to assist with moving towards the stage of expert nurse. Retention data was collected retrospectively and included 12 months of retention data for the two cohort groups being compared. Comparison of this data showed a 4.5% increase in retention from one to another. Further comparison of this data showed that the difference in length of service at 12 months between these two cohort groups was not statistically significant (p=.285). Further comparisons of independent hospitals and practice areas also showed no statistically significant differences in overall length of service at 12 months.
Book Synopsis Outcome Comparison of an Evidence-based Nurse Residency Program to Other Orientation Models by : Debra A. Harrison

This book was released on 2012 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this evidence-based project was to compare one-year outcomes for newly licensed Registered Nurses (NLRNs) in three organizations within the same healthcare system. All three have lower than nationally reported turnover and strategies for NLRN retention. Only one is using a Nurse Residency Program (NRP). NRPs are recognized as an effective strategy to retain newly licensed registered nurses (NLRNs) in their first year of employment (Institute of Medicine [IOM], 2010; The Advisory Board, 2007; Spector, 2007). The Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education (CCNE) (2008) defines an NRP as a series of learning sessions and work experiences that occur continuously over a 12-month period designed to assist NLRNs as they transition into their first professional nursing role. This cross-sectional, descriptive study utilized the Casey-Fink Graduate Nurse Experience Survey and intent to stay questions to collect data on NLRNs at one year post hire. Results indicated no statistically significant differences between the three sites and the subscales of the survey. There was a trend of a more positive score for professional satisfaction with Site A. Turnover was also similar between sites and lower than the reported 10% average, with Site A at 2%, Site B at 5%, and Site C at 4%. There was a statistically significant difference between Site A and C in the intent to stay in their current position, with Site A longer than Site C. The study supports the literature and evidence that a NRP is an effective strategy to decrease first year turnover. Further study is needed related to the effectiveness of the components of the NRP, length of time for mentorship, and the impact of accumulation of cohorts.
Book Synopsis Nurse Residency Programs by : Kimberly Johnson
Download or read book Nurse Residency Programs written by Kimberly Johnson and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The problem of new graduate registered nurse turnover is one that continues to be looming over hospitals throughout the United States. Decreased competency, lack of loyalty to employment providers, and diminished retention rates have prompted studies to determine what can be done. Research in this area has indicated that the use of one-year nurse residency programs can make a positive difference over the use of traditional nurse orientation in the retention of new graduate registered nurses. Implementation of a program like the University Health System Consortium (UHC)/American Association of Colleges of Nursing (AACN) Residency Program instead of the traditional nurse orientation for new graduate nurses, can better prepare nurses to take on the future of health care.
Book Synopsis Exploring New Nurses' Perceptions of a Nurse Residency Program by : Chineda Hill
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.

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.
Book Synopsis Review of the Nurse Residency Programs by : Laura J. Carr
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.

Book Synopsis Significance of Nurse Residency Or Internship Programs on Nurse Retention, Costs, and Competence by : Angela D. Cowgill
Download or read book Significance of Nurse Residency Or Internship Programs on Nurse Retention, Costs, and Competence written by Angela D. Cowgill and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The problem addressed in this project pertains to new graduate nurses and their transition to practice needs as well as the costs facilities must endure when these new nurses leave their job prematurely. According to the Arizona Nurses Association, more than 50% of all new graduate nurses leave their first job and sometimes nursing altogether because of decreased orientation time and the shock that exists when they transition from student to professional nurse (AzNA, 2009). New graduate nurse turnover costs facilities $49,000 to $92,000 per nurse (Trepanier, Early, Ulrich, and Cherry, 2012). This impacts patient care as it interferes with staffing on units, continuity of care, and loss of staff productivity. The solution presented in the project is to institute nurse residency or internship programs in most facilities which will help to transition new nurses from student to competent and confident professional nurses who can provide safe, evidence-based care. This solution is based on results seen in extensive research from both quantitative and qualitative research studies. This solution will decrease the costs related to nursing turnover. This project details what needs to happen to implement a nurse residency program as well as how it will be evaluated and how the information will be disseminated to key stakeholders and other healthcare professionals.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The organization that served as the study site for this project has two nurse residency programs that compete for resource allocation, space, informational materials, and human resources. The DNP project was conducted to combine the programs to eliminate waste and ensure the combined program met with the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education standards for accreditation of entry-to-practice nurse residency programs. A literature review was used to evaluate practice themes for a formal residency program, and Benner’s novice to expert theory was chosen to guide the program development. A team of nurse educators and managers met via teleconferencing to review the curricula of both programs and compare these to the best practice literature. The teams met over several weeks and achieved consensus on the structure and process for a single best practice nurse residency program. The project had the potential to provide a developmental framework for advanced practice residency and interprofessional trainee programs. Aligning the two programs assured best evidence-based practice and conservation of resources. The goal was to improve new graduate retention within an extensive federal system. Keywords: new nurse satisfaction, BSN residency program recruitment and retention, baccalaureate nurse satisfaction, new nurse shortage, new nurse satisfaction, nurse turnover
Book Synopsis Influences on Transition to Practice Outcomes Among New Nurses by : Felecia S. Williams
Download or read book Influences on Transition to Practice Outcomes Among New Nurses written by Felecia S. Williams and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 119 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This research explored the investigation of influences on transition to practice outcomes among new graduate nurses in a nurse residency program. The study participants consisted of 641 nurse residents from the Versant RN RegistryTM from 2010-2011. They represented 84 facilities in 14 states across the United States. A descriptive correlational design was utilized to gain insight on the impact mentoring and debriefing had on gains in competence and confidence, the degree of comfort in assuming a staff nurse role at the end of the residency, and job satisfaction. A secondary data analysis was conducted using the Versant RN Nurse ResidencyTM database. Frequencies and percentages, chi-square analysis, and independent t-tests were applied to the data set. The study results showed mentoring and debriefing as positive influences on gains in competence and confidence, comfort in assuming a staff nurse role at the end of the nurse residency, and job satisfaction. The results were moderated by nursing educational preparation and previous healthcare experience. Bachelor-prepared new graduate nurses and nurses with previous healthcare experience related a higher degree of comfort in assuming a staff nurse role at the end of the nurse residency. Future research should include expanded analysis of the new outcome variable of degree of comfort in assuming a staff nurse role at the end of nurse residency programs. Continued evaluation of the effectiveness of mentoring circles would also contribute to the nursing literature with regard to economic feasibility. Key words: transition-to-practice, new graduate nurse, mentoring, debriefing, nurse residency.
Book Synopsis Implementing a Nurse Residency Transition to Practice Program at a Veterans Hospital by : Marcia Lysaght
Download or read book Implementing a Nurse Residency Transition to Practice Program at a Veterans Hospital written by Marcia Lysaght and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Newly licensed registered nurses enter the workforce unprepared to transition to practice and are expected to perform competently in highly complex healthcare settings. Gaps between the student role and practice, result in newly licensed registered nurses feeling ill prepared to transition to practice, leading to high turnover rates. Transition to practice programs assist the newly licensed registered nurse to adapt to the practice setting and develop competence and confidence. Evidence supports the benefits of these program, but there are significant variations in length and pedagogy. A Post Baccalaureate Nurse Residency Program one year in length, modeled after the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education entry-to-practice nurse residency program, implemented at a large, complex, integrated federal healthcare system. Online surveys to current and former participants of a nurse residency program from 2015 -2017, to assess competence and confidence level, job satisfaction, retention, and assessment of program components and effectiveness. Findings from participants of a 1-year post-baccalaureate nurse residency program revealed significant improvement in competence and confidence scores, increased job satisfaction, and 100 percent remained employed at the medical center one year after program completion. Nurse residency programs have shown to be effective in newly licensed registered nurses transitioning to practice, and positively impacts, job satisfaction, competence, confidence in practice, and retention.
Book Synopsis The Attributes of Nurse Residency Programs Influencing the Newly Licensed Registered Nurse by : Christina Louise Kiger
Download or read book The Attributes of Nurse Residency Programs Influencing the Newly Licensed Registered Nurse written by Christina Louise Kiger and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New nurses report feeling unprepared, incompetent, and highly stressed, contributing to first-year turnover rates of 25% in some healthcare organizations. Turnover, combined with a preparation-practice gap, has alerted advocacy organizations and researchers to recommend the development of nurse residency programs. Nurse residency programs are a post-graduate training period where new nurses receive enhanced clinical education in the healthcare setting. While highly variable in structure and attributes, programs usually include educational sessions, clinical immersion, and role socialization opportunities. Evidence supports that new nurses participating in nurse residency programs experience positive outcomes, including increased confidence, competence, and decreased turnover rates. Despite this, only half of the hospitals nationwide have implemented a program with most designed around a single health system mission. This dissertation study aimed to identify the attributes of nurse residency programs influencing the newly licensed registered nurse. An integrative review of the literature and evolutionary concept analysis was completed to examine the state of the science of nurse residency programs. Findings revealed a lack of conceptual and theoretical design and variability among program structures, creating a gap in the literature about the attributes of programs that are most influencing new nurses. Based on the literature's noted gaps, a qualitative description study was conducted. Purposive sampling strategies were used to recruit nurses who recently completed varied program models across the United States. New nurses reported the attributes of programs and described how those positively and negatively influenced the transition to practice experience. The overarching themes revealed that new nurses need a cadre of highly supportive individuals across the clinical and educational continuum who espouse astute interpersonal and communication skills. New nurses desire engaging activities with intra and interprofessional team members for clinical skill application, knowledge advancement, and role socialization. New nurses need the structure of meetings at times and in a sequence conducive to learning; and for preceptorship experiences to be facilitated by trained preceptors, on a unit, and of a length that supports confidence for autonomous practice. Future research will include the development and testing of an evaluation tool based on the findings from this study.
