Arizona Hospital and Healthcare Association’s Post

👩⚕️Not only does the Arizona Transition to Practice Program provide new graduate nurses with the structure they need to be successful; the participating facilities also receive customized support and training. Last month, Karen Ofafa, MPH, BSN, RN, CSSBB, CPHQ, director, Transition to Practice Program at AzHHA, spent time at Cobre Valley Regional Medical Center, one of the program’s participating facilities. This visit allowed Karen to meet with the chief nursing officer, site champion and all program participants at the facility to discuss current progress and provide recommendations. The meeting also offered feedback on the program, including this statement from Joy Peery, BSN, RN, chief nursing officer: “As the chief nursing officer of a rural hospital, I am thrilled by the success of the 1804 grant. This funding has been instrumental in supporting our new graduate nurses, providing them with support, resources and training necessary to help them transition smoothly into their new role in healthcare. We are seeing the structured mentorship and professional development opportunities as having a great effect on their confidence and overall competence level. The grant is truly helping transform our hospital, and I am deeply grateful for the positive impact it is having on our patients and staff, and ultimately, the larger impact it will have on our community.” Interested in learning more about this program?
