REDUCE NURSE TURNOVER
INDIVIDUALIZE COMPETENCE

Are you struggling to retain nurses, balance cost, and ensure quality?

Between 2015 and 2020, the average hospital has turned over 89% of its workforce and lost $3.6 – $6.1 million annually, according to NSI. This issue alone can put an organization out of business. We’ve proven a sustainable improvement on nurse retention over 4+ years across multiple sites. Given the competitive marketplace and high cost of temporary expand-content, you need a proven solution that is molded around your organization’s DNA.

Our Tools. Your Nurse Residency Program.

Our proven nurse residency tools provide organizations with the educational scaffolding required to progress a new nurse’s knowledge, skills, attitudes, and critical thinking. Stand out from the crowd with a unique preceptor development program in partnership with Sigma, an unlimited CE library to promote lifelong learning, cohort insights with benchmarks, personalized, specialty-based development plans, and more.
The beauty of this program is the blended learning model. We used a combination of lectures from our internal experts, online courseware from HealthStream and its content partners, and group discussions guided by a facilitator, an educator, or one of our nurse leaders.

Creating a Path for New Nurses to Become Safe, Competent and Confident Practitioners

As healthcare leaders and educators, we know that newly graduated nurses need help connecting the dots. They need a safe and nurturing environment in which to learn, with a preceptor who remembers what it was like to transition into practice. It’s easy to miss the details given busy schedules, tremendous responsibilities and competing priorities.

Our job is to help bolster your new nurse onboarding or residency program. We’ve worked with hundreds of organizations to improve nurse retention over multiple years, individualize competency development, improve HCAHPS and resident satisfaction, support residency leaders through accreditation, and dramatically grow resident confidence.
Based on the latest 2020 survey by NSI, the top reason nurses left their organization was for career advancement, followed by personal reasons, relocation, salary, retirement, scheduling, and workload/expand-contenting ratios. Particularly as millennials become the majority of the workforce, it’s critical that organizations foster a culture of career development from day one. Nursing leaders have a goal in 2020 to reduce turnover by 3.7%, which equates to $1.1M in annual savings on average with only a 1.3% goal achieved in 2019.
