Academic/ Practice Partnerships: Creating Solutions for Workforce Challenges
Edna Cadmus PhD, RN, NEA-BC, FAAN
Objectives
• Describe an effective transition into practice (TPP) program for new graduates in post-acute settings.
• Identify how academic and practice partnerships strengthen new graduates transitioning into practice.
• Discuss challenges and lesson learned in the process of implementation of a TPP.
Objectives
• Evaluate satisfaction and financial outcomes of implementing a TPP.
• Describe how academic/practice partnerships influence geriatric education at the undergraduate level in nursing.
• Describe how nursing competency of the student and staff improved care of the elderly.
How it All Began
• Nursing students are encouraged to work in hospitals for at least 2 years after becoming an RN
• Most Schools of Nursing do not offer a rotation in Geriatric care although majority of patients are geriatric
• DONs reported frequently that they invested time and talent in onboarding new graduates, they left as soon as a hospital position became available
Challenges
Nursing Centers were reluctant to hire based
on past history
Administration was not thrilled about replacing days out of building for preceptor and new RN
Administration felt the program cost them too
much money
DONs believed new RNs would leave them once they had experience on
their resume
Academia Challenges
Geriatrics not taught as a specialty
Few rotations for clinical
practice
Nursing educators still
advising students to go
to hospitals
Share your knowledge
Nurses working together can facilitate change
Nurses are the Number 1 trusted profession for 17
years
Collaboration and Respect
NJ Environmental Scan
• NJ Population =8,944,469 • US Census Bureau
• 7% of RNs in state employed in nursing homes, assisted living, extended care
• NJCCN Workforce Report (2018)
• Every county has had increase in elderly
Background
• Recommendation 3: Implement nurse residency programs
• Health care organizations, HRSA, CMS, and philanthropic organizations should fund the development and implementation of nurse residency programs across all practice settings.
• Health care organizations that offer nurse residency programs and foundations should evaluate the effectiveness of the residency programs in improving the retention of nurses, expanding competencies, and improving patient outcomes. (S-10)
• IOM (2011) The Future of Nursing: Leading Change Advancing Health.

Costs
• High cost recruitment and replacement
• 1st year turnover rates of new nursing school graduates between 35%-61%. (Pine & Tart, 2007)
• Replacement of an RN =75-125% of an RNs annual salary. ( Jones, 2007; Silvestre, J., 2017)
ROI
Financial impact of
poor patient outcomes
Nursing staff impact :• Resident satisfaction • Staff responsiveness • Nursing
communication • Pain management

Focus Group Comments
Faculty support Faculty had good presentation skills and the learning collaboratives were well laid out.
Program materials and length Dementia, delirium videos, MedPasstraining and the Alive Inside video were particularly helpful. The new nurses asked for more simulations and role playing to teach critical thinking skills along with more focus on documentation. New nurses felt the program could be shortened.

Lessons Learned-Recruitment
Long Term Care facilities require long lead times to commit to a nurse residency program
Return on Investment was important to the administrators
Selection criteria using the 5 star quality ratings was not an important contributor
Preceptor selection important
Lessons Learned Implementation
Offering the program face to face was more effective than using on-line modalities
Offering the program in the summer created staffing challenges
In long term care release time one day per week was the most that could be tolerated
Implementation Continued
Integrate the collaboratives into the program
The QAPI projects were an important aspect
Preceptors would benefit from a longer educational program
Lessons Learned Evaluation
Reducing the number of surveys
Time for survey participation is not
common place
Mixed methods approach is much richer
to understanding the data
Focus on Leadership
Deliverables
Curricula for nurse residents and
preceptors developed
86% retention rate for the nurse residents that
participated for 12 months
Training and virtual dementia kits provided to
facilities
Video for INTERACT simulation
produced and distributed
Certification of nurse residents
and preceptors as GRNs 83
Certification of nurse residents,
preceptors and other staff as
certified dementia practitioners 107
