The Vnip—a Statewide Nursing Workforce Development Project
نویسنده
چکیده
The Vermont Nurse Internship Project (VNIP) is a statewide nurse leadership initiative that includes representation from academia, various practice settings, and regulatory agencies. This coalition has developed a nurse internship model that supports the transition from school to practice in diverse settings. With 6 years of experience in working with interns and their preceptors, the nurse leaders who developed the VNIP have learned many lessons and have established evidence-based practices related to intern and preceptor development. Two unique features of this project include the collaboration between education, practice, and regulation and statewide standardization of an expanded preceptor curriculum.
