PERCEPTIONS OF A NURSE RESIDENCY PROGRAM
Nancy Fink, MSN, BSN, RN, CCRCKaren Lutter, MSN, BSN, RN, NE-BC
OBJECTIVES Describe the purpose of the nurse
residency pilot program at IH-DM. Identify historical background behind
typical nursing orientation. Review the next steps for developing a
nurse residency program. Describe the outcomes from building a
nurse residency program and the implications for retention.
BACKGROUND Survival of the hospital RN Decreased supply of RNs and increased
burnout Dissatisfaction with job leads to early
departure National Turnover and Vacancy Rates in
Acute Care Hospitals 21.3% average turnover rates8.9% to 16.4% average vacancy rates
BACKGROUND
Stress among new RNs in new position Transition issues
30%-60% of new RNs leave within one year Cost of orientation
100% of annual salary
BACKGROUND Inconsistent at Iowa Health Des Moines
Hospital orientation Preceptor training Length of unit orientation Gap between academics and frontline nurse
Turnover and Vacancy at Iowa Health Des Moines 11.36% Turnover (2008); 8.33% (2010) 2.31% Vacancy (2009); 1.74% (2010) Historically RNs left within 1-5 years of their
employment; current trend in 2010 within 5-24 months
INTRODUCTION
Issues to retain newly licensed nurses Provide job satisfaction Consistent orientation plan with enhanced
preceptor development Increased confidence and competence
PURPOSE
Find the perceptions expressed by newly hired graduates regarding their confidence and competence after six months of attending a residency program and examining their transition into the acute care setting.
LEGAL AND ETHICAL IRB approval obtained at Iowa Health
Des Moines and Clarkson College. Data analyst sent the SurveyMonkey
link to the participants at midpoint. New RNs accessed the survey through
their protected electronic email system. Confidentiality maintained by the data
collection system Implied consent was given if participant
answered the survey.
LITERATURE REVIEW Not another lecture (Poynton, Madden, Bowers,
Keefe & Peery, 2007) New RNs do not want to sit in a classroom Need to direct more hands on learning Material to be more relevant to their nursing
specialty or interest Develop Curriculum (Bonnel, 2009).
Built to enhance the academic curriculum Residency Support (Altier & Krsek, 2006)
Enriched learning experience of newly licensed nurses
Includes didactic and clinical orientation Successful transition into nursing practice
LITERATURE REVIEW Nursing Executive Center (NEC, 2008)
Identified need for preparing RN for new role after graduation
Nurse leaders identified that new RNs need to go beyond academic preparation to retain and build confidence of new RN
Used a dual-survey method for academic and frontline nursing leaders
Purpose of survey to isolate specific nursing competencies Thirty-six competencies isolated that drive nursing preparation-
practice gap University HealthSystem Consortium (UHC) and
American Association of Colleges of Nursing (AACN) Curriculum for residency program and guidelines to
enhance the confidence and competence of the new RN (Poynton, Madden, Bowers, Keefe & Peery, 2007)
THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK Utilization of Patricia Benner’s Theory
(1984)Novice to ExpertDevelopment of extended orientation with
newly licensed nursesGrowth with extended orientation from
novice to advanced beginnerCurriculum constructed with foundation of
academic degree
METHODOLOGY Nurse manager assisted in identifying
newly licensed nurses to participate in residency program.
Once the managers agreed for the newly licensed nurse (RN) to participate in the residency program, the new RNs were approached.
Final selection was determined by the research investigators.
METHODOLOGY Invited newly licensed RNs within last six months
and graduated from an accredited nursing program.
Participants reviewed the class schedule and the class objectives and given the opportunity to ask questions.
It was explained to the participants that at any point they can withdraw from the class and the research.
Six participants currently enrolled in the residency program.

Total $9,404.64 $16,797.36 $7,392.72
LIMITATIONS Need for a strong preceptor program
Challenges in orientation module tool Challenges in prioritization in patient assignments
Resources for faculty and finances Educator needs at least 7 hours prep work for one hour of
class time (Beecroft, Kunzman, & Krozek; 2001) Resource considered as in-kind support as responsibility
of clinical professional development department within IHDM
Benchmarking Difficult at this point as residency program pilots for RNs
is new Program for IHDM
Number of participants small Survey tool not tested for validity
RECOMMENDATIONS Continue the RN Residency program
augmenting the existing nursing orientation at Iowa Health Des Moines (IHDM) in 2011 and 2012.Start within six months of licensureEnhance preceptor programAdd simulation to the course material to
increase hands on skillsDevelop tool kit for nurse leadersCollaborate with Human Resources with
application process
RECOMMENDATIONS Institute of Medicine (IOM, 2010)
The Institute of Medicine and Robert Wood Johnson Foundation included implementing a residency program as a targeted recommendation at the local, state, and national level.
Time Line for Implementation First pilot, 6 residents participated, April 2010 –
September 2010 Second pilot, goal for 20 residents to participate,
August 2011 - February 2012 Third pilot, goal for 20 residents to participate,
February 2012 - August 2012 Full implementation August 2012
