Its been announce in the public that about half million dollars will serve as an investment towards the West River for their nursing career educational training programs for the span of two years in order to be more prepare and even retain this new nurses especially in this Rapid City Regional Hospital. According to the statement of the director of University of South Dakota nursing educational program Rapid Campus Schools City that they have always keep on putting nurses in their area but the only concern is that they can’t retain it. These nursing shortages in the different hospitals become one of the nation’s concern but not primarily focus on it due to its low pays or several people are lacking of interest upon foregoing nursing career or else several hospitals will be experiencing some high level of burnout that will lead to some few nurses to leave their clinical practice in order to be educated and be able to teach on college level of education. Thus, it limits the numbers of nurses that will be trained especially to those high schools graduates who aspire to become nurses in the future.

According to the director of patient services that yearly, the Regional will usually hire about 100 new nurses’ graduates but about 25% are just gone within the two years. With that, it found out that these nurses needs someone to guide them thoroughly in their chosen nursing field so that’s the main reason that this new program is created upon. In line with that, last Tuesday morning the nursing school and some hospital officials have announced an educational nursing grant of $250,000 from their Partners Investing of Nursing’s Future which is the program of Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and to its Northwest Health Foundation. In which, this money will go to this John T. Vucurevich Foundation and will entirely be matched through the $230,000 from this foundation and about $10,000 each from First Interstate Bank Foundation and to its First Western Bank.

Part of this program, each of this two university nursing educational learning institutes will be chosen as one of this class for this eight nursing learners in order to participate for this pilot learning where they will be getting several chances to practice over their clinical skills.

This eight nursing learners will entirely been supervised by the faculty member. Under this pilot program that this faculty member will be supervising these four clinical partners especially the nurses of Regional. In which, they will be overseeing two learners. As a result, several supervisors who will be guiding the learners will provide several chances to practice over their hands on clinical skills that includes administer medication and inserting catheter or even IV. So, several practices also means that learners will be quite confident over their skills and even more likely have some positive experience on its first year as a nurse. In the second portion of this program, the entire nurses will be hired on this Regional will be able to participate on new, long term residency program where in each this new nurses will be paired with some mentor who is not their supervisor or some preceptor. This mentors who will be participating voluntarily are paid through stipend and be given some opportunity to taken some classes for nursing educational learning through the different universities. Aside of that, clinical partners of this educational training program will also be able to take some classes and the program will organizers some hope that will lead over to the development of several nursing educators. According to Brooks, this educational grant will entirely support of expanding its efforts in order to ensure their quality nurses that are quite available for western South Dakota for several years to come.
