Interviewing prospective nursing employees is only the first step in the successful integration of newly hired nurses. After hiring, it is up to educators, nurse managers, and preceptors to design individualized orientation programs that facilitate the transition from new nurse to confident practitioner.
"By the time new employees come to us, some have begun to lose interest in the process," according to Diana Swihart, PhD, DMin, MSN, CS, APN, RN-BC, ANCC Magnet Recognition Program® Director at Bay Pines (FL) VA Healthcare System. "It's then up to us to focus on the service-specific orientation and get them reenergized and excited about their service orientation."
