Title : The Effectiveness Of A Differentiated Orientation For Nurses In An Acute Care Facility

Author Name : Leslee Shepard

Synopsis :

Effective orientation models can result in many positive outcomes for new nurses and the facility alike. Clinical nursing practice continues to shift toward differentiated practice models. Consequently, it makes sense that education and training follow the same path. This study examined the effectiveness of a differentiated orientation for nurses. Specifically, the study looked at how the design of an orientation pathway influences employee satisfaction, nurses' perceptions of enhancing clinical competency, and examined the relationship between the design of the orientation and retention. The results suggested that the orientation model did have a positive impact on job satisfaction, skill level, and longevity on a unit.
