The meeting isn’t until 5:30 pm so I’ll still gladly accept input!
Kristy, I’m curious if CC tried the MHCA toolkit for new grads/residencies. We have some members successfully onboarding new grads, but it doesn’t take more focused training.
Kind Regards,

Subject: RE: nursing program inquiry
Sorry I didn’t get these questions answered for you by today. I asked our educator staff for their feedback and just realized that the only response was the following:
“We have not been hiring new grads. Our last and only new grad was from 2019. She was an LPN at SCH and Home care was not a good fit and did go back to work at SCH.”
I think the scenario she references was a specific case with the person – not necessarily because she was a new grad. However, I will say that there is a quite a gap and the setting of care isn’t ideal for the new grad. We haven’t had a
chance to hire another new grad since this situation – there honestly has been a lack of new grad applicants.
I also wonder if new grads are drawn toward positions that pay more (like inpatient)? I mean…they are freshly getting notices of student loan repayment and perhaps too young to recognize the fact that money is only one small part of the
list of considerations one should go through when deciding where to work….

I have the Bethel Nursing Advisory Board meeting Weds. Two of the questions we’ll be addressing are really geared to providers and I’d welcome any insight that I can share. Thanks in advance!
- COVID continues to have an impact on higher education. Do you continue to see gaps as new graduates transition to practice? What strengths are you seeing?
What suggestions do you have for us as we prepare graduates for the present nursing environment?
- How can we as educators help build resilience in new graduate nurses? What are you doing in your organization that you find successful?
