EDUCATION

The Education group assesses and identifies training needs and establishes a collaborative plan to achieve desired learning outcomes aligned with Henry Mayo’s mission and core values.

The team implements learning theories/ principles and effective and pertinent strategies, particularly in onboarding nurse residency and preceptorship programs. Additionally, the group maintains training activities that meet professional, regulatory, licensing and accreditation requirements.

Achievements in 2022 included:

• Redesigning the Nurse Residency Program by expanding didactic hours with emphasis on reflective practice, simulation exercises and ‘escape room’ learning strategies

• Expanding the Preceptor Development Program by offering more RN preceptor classes to assist in onboarding newly employed RNs and new graduate nurses

• Formally adopting a framework that increases staff competency, streamlines online modules and helps ensure continuous learning
