Abstract:
BACKGROUND:The nursing shortage requires new graduate registered nurses (RNs) to work at the bedside, often leading to a shortened orientation period and increased stress. In the Married State Preceptorship Model (MSPM), the preceptor and the preceptee work together as the new graduate RN transitions to the bedside while maintaining safety and quality. This study explored first-year turnover rates of new graduate RNs and new graduate RNs' and preceptors' perceptions of the MSPM in transitioning new graduate RNs to practice. METHODS:Focus groups and surveys were used with 108 new graduate RNs and 100 preceptors. RESULTS:Four themes emerged for new graduate RNs: partnership, critical thinking, learning, and transition. A statistically significant decrease in turnover rates was seen with MSPM versus traditional precepting. Survey data found that new graduate RNs and preceptors perceived the MSPM as promoting safety and reducing anxiety. CONCLUSION:The MSPM allows organizations to retain a quality nursing work force focused on safety patient care by transitioning new graduate RNs into the practice setting.
