Internship Program Receives Return on Investment From Nurse Professional Development Efforts
Abstract:
Our current economy necessitates attention to nursing professional development programs that positively impact the fiscal budget. This project evaluated the cost-effectiveness of the patient care internship program designed to attract and retain nursing talent in a Midwest hospital system. Nurse leaders partnered with nursing faculty to recruit student nurses and prepare them to transition to the registered nurse role. The program had cost savings to the organization greater than $200,000 over a 2-year period.
