Main Event
Nurse Intern Program
The goals of the Nurse Intern Program are to assure safe, competent and efficient nurses; to provide newly licensed nurses the opportunity to increase knowledge and acquire nursing skills; to provide newly licensed nurses with a practical clinical precepted experience; and to increase the number of newly licensed nurses practicing in BWH. This program includes a detailed assessment of learning needs of the newly licensed nurse. The four-day general orientation and assessment result in a mutually established learning contract where the nurse intern is established as a partner in the learning process. Clearly identified goals are developed by the unit-based educator based upon objective data, and are communicated to the nurse intern, preceptor and nurse manager. This action plan guides the unit-based orientation of the nurse intern, not only in content, but also in length of orientation. For more information, please contact Regina Cullen, nurse recruiter, at ext. 5562.
