Abstract

INTRODUCTION

Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, meeting regulatory educational requirements and graduating students competent for nursing practice was essential. Competent graduates were needed to support a strong nursing workforce in Connecticut during this chaotic time in health care. This paper describes the powerful impact of statewide collaboration toward meeting this goal.

METHODS

The Connecticut League for Nursing Council of Deans and Directors (Council) organized six work groups to address the practice issues brought about by COVID-19 to continue educating nursing students and ensure a robust nursing workforce for the state. Volunteers from the Council offered to lead the groups and members joined based on interest. The six work groups were: (1) enhance communication with the Connecticut Board of Examiners for Nursing (BOEN), (2) examine academic progression policies across programs to ensure academic rigor, (3) examine integration of nursing students into professional practice and the provision of support for new graduates, (4) Strategize on transition to practice issues, (5) ensure APRN students meet the required 500 precepted direct client care hours, and (6) examine summer clinical experience options for RN and LPN students.

CONCLUSION

The Council's top priority was to graduate competent nursing students ready for practice. This necessitated the establishment of a framework for ongoing deep, timely discussions among Council members and with the BOEN regarding the new education imperative for creative patient care learning experiences. Through collaborative efforts, the Council was able to enhance robust and timely sharing of strategies, policies, and other guidelines. The Council has partnered with the Connecticut Nurses Association, Connecticut Hospital Association, and the Connecticut Center for Nursing Workforce to provide a strong united nursing voice for executive decision-making and within the political arena in support of the role of nursing students and faculty, and their continuous involvement within direct caregiving environments.

摘要

引言

在整个新冠疫情期间，满足监管教育要求并培养出具备护理实践能力的毕业生至关重要。在医疗保健这段混乱时期，康涅狄格州需要有能力的毕业生来充实强大的护理队伍。本文描述了全州范围内为实现这一目标而开展合作所产生的巨大影响。

方法

康涅狄格州护理联盟院长和主任理事会（理事会）组织了六个工作组，以解决新冠疫情带来的实践问题，继续培养护理专业学生，并确保该州拥有强大的护理队伍。理事会的志愿者主动牵头各小组，成员根据兴趣加入。这六个工作组分别是：（1）加强与康涅狄格州护士考试委员会（BOEN）的沟通；（2）审查各项目的学业进展政策，以确保学术严谨性；（3）审查护理专业学生融入专业实践的情况以及为应届毕业生提供的支持；（4）制定向实践问题过渡的策略；（5）确保高级实践注册护士（APRN）学生达到规定的500小时带教直接患者护理时长；（6）审查注册护士（RN）和 licensed practical nurse（LPN）学生的暑期临床实习选项。

结论

理事会的首要任务是培养出有能力从事护理实践的毕业生。这就需要建立一个框架，以便理事会成员之间以及与BOEN就创新患者护理学习体验的新教育要求进行持续、深入、及时的讨论。通过共同努力，理事会能够加强策略、政策和其他指导方针的有力且及时的分享。理事会已与康涅狄格州护士协会、康涅狄格州医院协会以及康涅狄格州护理劳动力中心合作，在行政决策和政治领域发出强有力的统一护理声音，以支持护理专业学生和教师的角色，以及他们在直接护理环境中的持续参与。
