Nurse Residency Programs have a great opportunity to better prepare nurses for the bedside. With less educators available at the college level, less clinical instructors in the field, the pandemic, institutions have a responsibility to assess the knowledge of their teams and develop them appropriately. There is a lot of focus on nursing research during residency programs which has its time and place, but I believe the need lies in building confidence with the basics. Clinical skills like IV competencies, SBAR communication, and developing the critical thinking skills to maneuver complex diseases and collaborate in multidisciplinary teams. I’m glad to see an article that provides data in support of this belief.
