Description The following Masters of Nursing thesis develops a project that introduces an enhancement to the current nurse residency program that includes clinical rotations in its educational foundation to solve job satisfaction issues among new graduate nurses.
Abstract Poor retention is a critical issue among healthcare workers throughout the country. Decreased job satisfaction directly impacts nursing retention rates, particularly among new nurses transitioning from school to clinical practice. This MSN project introduces an enhancement to the current nurse residency program that includes clinical rotations in its educational foundation to solve job satisfaction issues among new graduate nurses. Evidence-based research indicates that clinical rotations benefit nurses early in their careers. These benefits include increased involvement in work, acquired additional skills, and enhanced job satisfaction in the workplace. This MSN project provides a clear path for implementing this unique type of residency program in nursing to be piloted at the University of Utah Hospital system in Salt Lake City. The new residency program format will be eight months and be implemented in a twenty week timeline. The project implementation includes a project proposal, a PowerPoint presentation for staff and administration, and a lesson and assignment plan for educators in the program. Additionally, the project will provide pre- and post-surveys to test the understanding and success of project implementation and allow for future improvements and changes based on trends. The project also identifies ways to disseminate significant results and learned information to the university's stakeholders and other organizations nationwide. Providing clinical rotations to train and support new nurses can significantly impact the long-standing nurse retention crisis.
