How one critical access hospital is redefining nursing professional development
Discover how an award-winning rural nurse residency improved competence, retention, and satisfaction through experiential learning and smart technology.
Inside the Webinar
Hospitals are under pressure to lift nurse competence, reduce burnout and improve retention without expanding budgets or facilities. Rural teams often feel these constraints most.
Grande Ronde Hospital, a 25-bed critical access hospital in La Grande, Ore., is showing what's possible. Its nurse residency earned the 2023 Performance Leadership Award for Excellence in Outcomes from the Chartis Center for Rural Health. In this session, UbiSim’s nurse educator Christine Heid, PhD, MSN/Ed, will present eye-opening research findings on practice readiness gaps and evolving competency expectations, setting the stage for leaders from Grande Ronde to share how they built a right-sized, outcomes-focused professional development model that's adaptable for both small and large organizations.
Author and educator Dan Weberg, PhD, RN, will moderate a candid discussion with Grande Ronde's nursing leaders on how they designed experiential learning, leveraged technology to accelerate practice readiness and tracked the signals that matter to executives — job satisfaction, clinical competence, burnout and retention.
