Better together - nurse residency collaborative councilLa Frentz, KellyWallace, Heatherhttp://hdl.handle.net/10755/221432023-09-14T22:47:09Z<p>Hospitals across the United States are competing for top talent and newly graduated nurses<em><strong> </strong></em>want to be granted a spot in a transition to practice program (TTP). How can the needs of both the hospital and graduate nurse be met? A panel of TTP coordinators from multiple institutions within the Houston/Galveston area were invited to discuss and share about their programs at a local Association for Nursing Professional Development (ANPD) meeting. Through this interaction, the TTP coordinators recognized that they were facing similar issues and trends in their programs and desired an external support system. This recognition helped guide the development of a nurse residency collaborative initiative. The TTP coordinators from nine hospital systems were invited to meet and discuss how they could share knowledge, resources, and innovative ideas, as well as provide guidance, support and mentoring to one another. Although the institutions are competitive in seeking the best candidates, they each have unique differences that attract the new graduates. Of the nine hospital systems, four have obtained accreditation through the ANCC Practice Transition Accreditation Program (PTAP) for their nurse residency programs. Along with providing a supportive network, a list of specific discussion topics for monthly meetings was derived from an informal needs assessment. Details of how the residency collaborative initiative originated, successes from their first year and future plans will be discussed.</p>
Sip and paint: The art of well-beingSimmy, KingMyers, Kristihttp://hdl.handle.net/10755/220472021-10-18T16:41:44ZThe complexity of the nurse’s work is challenging and has an impact on an individual’s emotional and physical health, impacting well-being. Arts programing for healthcare providers offers an opportunity for creativity and self-expression that allows them to integrate their experiences and emotions instead of carrying them into their workplace or home (State of the Field Committee, 2009). Art can also enhance healthcare clinicians’ mental health and well-being, reducing stress, awakening creativity, and increasing a sense of community.
Creating a culture of lifelong learning: A strategy for organizational successPabico, ChristinePerkins, Charles K.Graebe, JenniferCosme, Sheriehttp://hdl.handle.net/10755/218642021-07-23T18:05:17Z2019-02-01T00:00:00ZA competent workforce supported by continuing professional development (CPD) is the foundation of successful healthcare organizations. Those who invest in CPD recognize the impact it has on optimizing performance and ensuring the delivery of safe, quality care. The 2016 follow-up report to the 2011 Future of Nursing report recommended that healthcare organizations prioritize interprofessional and lifelong learning so “nurses are prepared to work in evolving healthcare environments.” 1,2 CPD enables nurses and all members of the healthcare team to improve their knowledge,
skills, and practice to ensure they’re confident and competent to provide evidence-based care that positively impacts patient outcomes.3
