Description
Ineffective connection, communication and integration into unit culture with a new nurse may impact their future success on the unit. 4 East MICU was lead with an interim manager, after the resignation of two former Unit Managers over several years. During the process of introducing a new interim Manager, 4 East MICU had experienced high turnover of nurses within 1 year of being hired to the unit.
The idea of 30-60-90-day check-ins while onboarding new employees was already in place, but not well established in the MICU. The collaborative efforts between the interim manager and the nurse educator, who had already established a relationship with the new employee weekly allowed for a teamoriented approach involving the unit leader, nurse educator and new nurse. Upon implementation, the new nurse would now formally meet with the Unit Manager and the Nurse Educator to gain insight and feedback on progress.
While checking in with the employee may not prevent all employees from leaving, it can ensure the employee is learning, making progress, gaining practical experience, and are acclimating to the unit culture.
The aim of the 30-60-90-day initiative was to supplement the unit educators already weekly check-ins and to decrease the number of nurse resignations within 1 year of hire in the MICU.
