  • Healthcare Workforce Development

Background:

  • Significant shortages of critical care nurses pose a challenge to healthcare systems.
  • Maintaining adequate staffing in Intensive Care Units (ICUs) is crucial for patient safety and quality of care.
  • Existing training models may not sufficiently meet the demand for specialized ICU nursing skills.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe the development and implementation of an innovative preceptor program for Intensive Care Unit (ICU) nurses.
  • To address the critical shortage of experienced critical care nurses.
  • To enhance the skills and readiness of newly trained nurses for ICU environments.

Main Methods:

  • A nurse manager designed and implemented a novel preceptor program.
