Critical Care Nurse Residency Program Enhances Nursing Recruitment and Retention is organized by American Association of Critical-Care Nurses (AACN).
Released/Updated: Oct 05, 2023
Expires: May 31, 2026
Activity Summary:
The traditional 10- to 12-week critical care orientation may not adequately prepare the graduate nurse (GN), representing the majority of applicants for critical care nursing positions. High rates of nursing turnover and early burnout are evidence of that. In this session, the facilitators describe the development and implementation of a 24-week Critical Care Nurse Residency program to meet the orientation needs unique to the GN. The outcomes of recruitment and retention are described.
Objectives:
• List strategies for the implementation of a cost-effective Critical Care Nurse Residency program.
• Identify stakeholders to ensure Critical Care Nurse Residency program support.
• Discuss blended learning strategies to supplement the essentials of critical care orientation (ECCO) in the development of a Critical Care Nurse Residency program.
