Piedmont Newnan Recognizes 18 New Nurse Residents
From Piedmont Newnan Hospital Press Release
A total of 18 registered nurses from Piedmont Newnan’s Spring 2024 cohort completed the enhanced Nurse Residency Program and were recognized at a recent celebration.
The nursing profession is one based on evidence and lifelong learning. One of the highlights of the residency program is the presentation of evidence-based projects.
Nurse residents are asked to select a topic they are passionate about that links evidence-based care to practice outcomes. They conduct a literary search, develop a PICO question, create a background summary, report a summary statement based on analysis and outcomes based off their literary searches. “Implementing Evidence-Based Protocols for Preventing Pressure Ulcers,” “Client Satisfaction in the Waiting Room at the Emergency Department” and “Continuous Bedside Telemetry and Vital Signs Monitoring” are just a few examples of the evidence-based project presentation topics. The nurse residents delivered oral presentations to nursing leadership.
Congratulations to our Spring 2024 Cohort:
Ashlyn Williams, RN (SCU); Emily Beseau, RN (SCU); Will Horne, RN (ICU); Alicia Franzen, RN (OR); Kristen Smith, RN (ED); Carrie Bush, RN (ED); Amy Walt, RN (ED); Jeralis Bergollo, RN (ED); Madison Cook, BSN, RN (ED); Jordan Roach, AON, RN (ED); Brooke Taylor, MSN, RN (ED); Chelsea Wiley, BSN, RN (ED); Brooke Carriger, RN (ICU); Savannah Shadinger, RN (6MS); Bukola Ogunleye, RN (8MS); Kimberly Almonte, RN (SCU); Sukhdeep Kaur, RN (BMS); and Mary Tiku, RN (8MS).
Piedmont’s Transition to Practice Nurse Residency Program is a formal, structured, evidence-based, 12-month program designed to foster Piedmont nurses practicing evidence- based care. Through learning and clinical experiences with preceptors, ongoing support from experienced educators, mentors and leadership, the residents are integrated into a culture that prioritizes and supports their growth. The program’s goal is to enhance the onboarding and residency experience of new graduate nurses beyond just skill acquisition to address the array of challenges in the transition from student nurse to competent, confident practitioner.
New nursing school graduates are welcomed three times a year into the organization.
