Good morning!! I am looking for strategies to change our actual methodology to train our new nursing staff. Actual procedure is 2 week for ICU's nurses and 1 week for regular wards training which cover the essentials of our electronic documentation systems and hospitals protocols. After that they are guided by a preceptor for a period that varies unit to unit with a minimum of 3 weeks. Then no other intervention is done. Can you help me with ideas that are working successfully at yours institutions?

Hi to everyone!! I am concern with nurses satisfaction at my institution. I am a Critical Care nurse at a Medical ICU. I just arrived two years ago no matter I am happy with my job and with team members in no time I start to recognize that nurses feel overwhelmed, or demotivated. I am looking foward to do something to help build or rebuild because some of them told me that the unit uses to be different spirit. Could someone can help me with programs or ideas actually working at yours hospitals? I will meet with my nurse manager but I want to have some proven ideas on hand. Thanks in advance for your help.

Thanks! I am having trouble with Practice and Performance. Could you post some examples as you did with quality of care? Please!! I agree that a proficiency is a personal work you already did. But your tips are gold and really appreciated

Thanks!!

Thanks!! That is the easy part. But getting this into my self evaluation at VA is what is difficult to spot. Did you have any examples? Great Day!!

I work at VA and I am writing my self evaluation and is it hard to me to realize the difference between Practice and Performance. Please help me with some examples. Thanks for your help!
