Article Synopsis
- - Registered Nurses (RNs) play a crucial role in enhancing community healthcare but are often not fully utilized in primary care settings.
- - Two nursing schools in Alabama launched a project aimed at strengthening the primary care RN workforce, which includes the creation of the Primary Care Clinical Mentoring Academy (PCCMA).
- - The PCCMA provides comprehensive training for RN clinical mentors, combining lectures and interactive activities, and participants found it beneficial for improving their skills and job performance in mentoring roles.
Background: Primary care health settings provide access to services for underserved populations, yet baccalaureate (BSN)-prepared nurses are currently underutilized on the primary care health care team.
