Redesigning patient care delivery is vital to the quality of care delivered and has resulted in the development of new nursing practice models that use some form of "nurse extender." In this article, the authors describe the design, implementation, and evaluation of an educational program for a new nursing practice model at a medical center in the Southeast. The major focus of the educational program is the use of modules to train a new nontraditional nurse extender who works in partnership with an RN. The role of the partner in patient care was developed to expedite the provision of a variety of services at the bedside and to help the nurse deliver quality patient care. The training program consisted of five modules: fundamentals of nursing, selected respiratory therapy skills, selected physical therapy skills, electrocardiogram (EKG)/arrhythmia interpretation, and phlebotomy. A major factor in the success of the program was that it was carefully developed and evaluated to meet the needs of students and staff members. This program can serve as a model for other hospitals that plan to use nurse extenders.
重新设计患者护理服务对于所提供护理的质量至关重要，并促成了一些使用某种形式“护士助理”的新护理实践模式的发展。在本文中，作者描述了东南部一家医疗中心针对一种新护理实践模式开展的教育项目的设计、实施和评估。该教育项目的主要重点是使用模块来培训一名与注册护士合作的新型非传统护士助理。患者护理中合作伙伴的角色是为了加快床边各种服务的提供，并帮助护士提供高质量的患者护理而设立的。培训项目包括五个模块：护理基础、选定的呼吸治疗技能、选定的物理治疗技能、心电图（EKG）/心律失常解读以及静脉穿刺术。该项目成功的一个主要因素是它经过精心开发和评估以满足学生和工作人员的需求。这个项目可以作为其他计划使用护士助理的医院的一个范例。
