2 A Compendium of Innovative Practices and Partnerships: Epanding Educational Capacity in California Schools of Nursing October 00 - rd Edition Introduction Epanding educational capacity in California schools of nursing was perhaps the state s most urgent need for addressing the nurse shortage and is Goal of the Master Plan for the California Nursing Workforce. The California Institute for Nursing &Health Care (CINHC) developed the statewide strategic plan building upon successful programs already underway. With that in mind, in 00, the Compendium of Innovative Practices and Partnerships, First Edition was published and identified successful practices that merit replication throughout the state. Many ecellent innovations and programs have been created through public/private partnerships to respond to the challenges facing nursing education today. These efforts include partnerships between schools of nursing, hospitals, health systems, and foundations. The information contained in the First Edition was used to demonstrate the collaborative, statewide approach to epansion of educational capacity in California at the 008 National Nursing Education Summit. This Summit was sponsored by the Center to Champion Nursing in America, under the auspices of AARP. The Compendium, Second Edition, updated the successful practices and the partnerships that support them published in the First Edition and added new programs and partnerships initiated in 008. This Third Edition now serves as a resource in providing information on current programs and successful practices in California. To create the Compendium, deans and directors of nursing programs, and healthcare nursing service administrators shared their successful innovative approaches with us. They completed an information form describing the program, the partnerships supporting the practice, and the outcomes. This Compendium reflects the program information as submitted by the participants. It does not include all the innovative practices and partnerships in the state, but is reflective of the ecellent work that occurs through the numerous public/private partnerships underway in California that support nursing education. CINHC wishes to thank the deans, directors, nursing educators, administrators and other nurse leaders who provided this information and contributed to this work. A special acknowledgement goes out to the hospitals, health systems, and foundations, whose contributions are documented in this Compendium and have so graciously stepped forward to support their local colleges and universities in their efforts to epand nursing school capacity and strengthen California s nursing workforce.

20 Lead Institution or Organization (provide full name and place an in the appropriate California State University, Fullerton Innovative Practice (provide the name of the program or practice) Education Service Facilitating Transition to Practice --- A New Graduate Eternship/Residency Program Innovative Practice Description (provide a brief description) The current economic recession has negatively impacted hiring trends for new graduate nurses with 0% of graduate nurses remaining unemployed and unable to find a job as a Registered Nurse (RN). A statewide concern for legislators, employers, and educators is that new graduates who do not find employment, will lose the skills they acquired while studying to become an RN, thus making them unemployable in nursing. A similar concern evolved at CSUF with new RNs in the EL-MSN program who were not able to find employment after successfully completing the RN licensure eam in year of the program. In response to this concern, the CSUF faculty transitioned a paid Nursing Eternship course into an unpaid new graduate residency eternship, where students were able to maintain clinical recency in a 6-week preceptored course while continuing enrollment in graduate level coursework. Partners (provide full name and place an in the appropriate Education Service Kaiser Permanente Hospital, Anaheim and Irvine St. Jude Medical Center Orange Coast Memorial VA Medical Center of Long Beach Mission Hospital Regional Medical Center Goal(s) (briefly state primary goals and place an in the appropriate Capacity Faculty Other (please list) Maintain new graduate RN clinical skills while enrolled in a University course Student transition to RN role Facilitate student orientation and acclimation to new graduate RN job requirements (time management, communication, patient care delivery, charting, and specific hospital/unit requirements) Enhance collaboration with local healthcare partners in an unpaid eternship eperience for licensed but unemployed new graduate RNs Student transition to RN role Meeting future workforce need Measurements-Outcomes (indicate outcomes achieved and measures of success) Student completion of eternship course (n=). All of the students completed the eternship course ecept for a student who had a baby and students (n=) who became employed during the eperience. Student and faculty satisfaction with the preceptor program. The majority of students and preceptors (96%) epressed satisfaction with the eperience. Student employability upon completion of eternship. Only students were offered employment at the hospital site where they did their preceptorship. A contributing factor to this outcome was that several hospitals planned to delay hiring until the student(s) completed all their graduate coursework (- semesters). Students who were employed after the residency course epressed increased self-confidence and an easier transition to the RN role at their place of employment

21 Cost (indicate the cost of the program or practice) The University costs of the program were faculty salary costs for a -unit course and the student costs were enrollment in a unit Nursing Eternship elective. There were no costs to the practice setting since this was an unpaid eternship. Funding Source(s) (list each and place a in the appropriate Private State Federal Student fees for enrollment in a unit elective course Were epected outcomes met? Yes No If not met, why? Students epressed a high level of satisfaction with the course and many reported that this course was the highlight of the semester for them. Preceptors also appreciated the opportunity to work with students over the duration of - semesters and to be a part of the new graduate transition to practice. Identify challenges or issues Challenges included identifying a sufficient number of preceptors, especially in fall and spring semesters, when hospitals were impacted by a larger number of clinical placements requests from other schools. Another challenge was that hospitals and preceptors did not understand the nature of the student since they were not used to preceptoring new graduate RNs, ecept in conjunction with hospital-based new graduate programs. Identify any breakthrough concepts or key learning The key learning from this project is that it is essential for education and service to work together creatively in meeting current and future workforce needs. The hospital partners in this project are to be commended for their willingness to think outside the bo in supporting placements for this course. Hospitals could benefit from the program if residency students were hired by the facility, since these students would already be acclimated to the facility. Advise adaptability of practice to other settings Other universities and colleges that have an eternship course could modify the course in a similar manner. The course could also be offered through Etended Education to generate revenue for the program. Provide time frame funded (from month/year to month/year) and plans for sustainability This CSUF Eternship course etended over semesters (08/009 to 8/00) and will continue to be offered as an ongoing elective.
