Background: The authors developed an innovative academic-practice partnership to meet the clinical experience needs of student nurses in a public health clinical course and support the nursing workforce due to the COVID-19 pandemic in a community-based hospital.
Method: The partnership (1) prioritized student and staff safety, (2) complied with local and state policies, (3) used faculty to supervise students, and (4) was built on the preexisting relationship between nursing faculty and hospital leaders. Student nurses deployed as workforce extenders with the clinical instructor on-site as the primary supervisor.
Objective: This evidence-based practice project assessed the impact of integrating mindfulness training into an existing nurse residency program.
Background: Stress and burnout are endemic in healthcare. The transition to practice is associated with stress and anxiety for newly graduated nurses.
