Your paperless transition to practice program.
Is it important to have consistent orientation/ residency training outcomes? How can you begin to improve consistency in the clinical performance of new staff at the end of your orientation /residency programs?
One answer is to consider the variability factors that are inherent in all unit-based nursing orientation programs. There is variability in the new hire nurses in terms of education and experience when the precepting process begins. There is variability in the attitudes, skills, and behaviors of the preceptors who work with the new hire nurse. There is variability in the patients’ number, acuity and diagnoses occurring on each shift and so on. The list is long.
