An educational training grant provided the funding for a 3-year project to recruit candidates into a mentored and redesigned gerontological advanced practice nursing program. The project goal was to design and implement a part-time program in advanced practice gerontological nursing that allowed nurses currently working in a long-term care (LTC) facility to maintain their full-time employment. Most of the students recruited worked at a partner LTC facility. The cohort was ethnically diverse. The outcome objective is board certification in gerontological advanced practice nursing. The mentored model offered a high level of support, including tutoring, professional role development activities, writing support, regular meetings, and workshops. Project faculty learned valuable lessons from this project relating to mentoring, tutoring, course scheduling, learning styles and preferences, and writing support. The part-time curriculum should also be reviewed critically.
一项教育培训补助金为一个为期3年的项目提供了资金，该项目旨在招募候选人参加一个经过指导和重新设计的老年高级实践护理项目。该项目的目标是设计并实施一个老年高级实践护理的兼职项目，使目前在长期护理（LTC）机构工作的护士能够维持其全职工作。招募的大多数学生都在一家合作的长期护理机构工作。该群体在种族上具有多样性。成果目标是获得老年高级实践护理的委员会认证。指导模式提供了高水平的支持，包括辅导、专业角色发展活动、写作支持、定期会议和研讨会。项目教员从这个项目中学到了与指导、辅导、课程安排、学习风格和偏好以及写作支持相关的宝贵经验。兼职课程也应进行严格审查。
