Mentoring the new graduate perioperative nurse: a valuable retention strategy
1OSF Saint Anthony Medical Center, Rockford, IL, USA.
Abstract:
The practice of hiring new graduate nurses to work in the OR is becoming more the norm than the exception. If left to transition into this environment alone, new nurses can quickly become overwhelmed and feel isolated and discouraged. This article details a mentoring program for new nurses in the OR. The purpose of the program is twofold: to help new nurses transition into the surgical environment and to increase the facility's nurse retention rate.
