The development, implementation, and evaluation of a program that incorporates a registered nurse and licensed vocational nurse partnership model into the critical care practice setting is described. This model can be used by nurse executives to alleviate some of the immediate consequences of the nursing shortage and potentially to achieve a longer-range solution by expanding the pool of registered nurses. Evaluation of the program revealed statistically significant increases in nurse job satisfaction; perceptions of reduced workload and stress; a perception by registered nurses and physicians of increased nursing care quality; decreased registered nurse turnover and sick time; and a positive perception of the role of the licensed vocational nurse in the critical care unit.
本文描述了一个将注册护士和执业护士合作模式纳入重症护理实践环境的项目的开发、实施和评估。护士管理人员可以使用这种模式来缓解护理短缺带来的一些直接后果，并有可能通过扩大注册护士队伍来实现更长远的解决方案。对该项目的评估显示，护士工作满意度有统计学上的显著提高；对工作量和压力减轻的认知；注册护士和医生对护理质量提高的认知；注册护士离职率和病假时间减少；以及对执业护士在重症监护病房作用的积极认知。
