Nursing professional development and human resource leaders revised general nursing orientation content and structure based on changes because of COVID-19 in length, focus, and platforms from the early stages of the pandemic. The aim of this quality improvement project was to incorporate best of pandemic modifications with key stakeholders and new-to-practice and experienced nursing hire needs emerging from COVID-19 realities on the workforce. The benefit for nursing professional development practitioners is relatability of general nursing orientation revisions for sustainability of clinical excellence and safety.

Background: New-to-practice nurses (NPNs) make more errors than their experienced peers, affecting patient safety and contributing to sentinel events. Additionally, new nurses have a high attrition rate in their first year of practice. Simulation-based education may bridge the gap between education and practice by supporting the development of clinical judgment of NPNs.

Using a robust academic-practice partnership, a college of nursing and a health care organization collaborated to launch Jefferson Capstone Experience (JCE), an education delivery model that included a one-to-one, 108-hour clinical preceptorship between an experienced RN and an undergraduate nursing student.
Method: The expedited design, implementation, and evaluation of JCE is described.

Background: The province of British Columbia is facing a family physician shortage despite consistent increases in the number of physicians per capita and ongoing reforms to address the shortage. We identify physicians' priorities for structural reform, describe the alignment of those priorities with BC's suite of reforms and compare responses between established physicians and those new to practice; we also assessed rates of burnout.
Methods: All family physicians credentialed within Vancouver Coastal Health in 2018 were invited to participate in a cross-sectional survey.

Chemotherapy agents used for cancer treatment are considered hazardous drugs (HDs). Guidelines and standards for handling HDs have been in place for several decades to protect oncology nurses working in hospitals and outpatient infusion areas. However, chemotherapy is frequently being administered in home settings, often by infusion nurses who do not necessarily have the requisite knowledge and training.
