The Vizient/American Association of College Nursing (AACN) Nurse
Residency Program™ announced today the integration of Maryland’s R3
Resilient Nurses Initiative curriculum into its content offering.
The collaboration elevates NRP’s support of newly licensed nurses
transitioning from classroom to clinical practice to promote
quality and safety and reduce turnover.
Led by nationally recognized bioethics and nursing leader Cynda
Rushton, a professor of clinical ethics and nursing at the Johns
Hopkins Berman Institute of Bioethics and the School of Nursing,
the R3 (renewal, resilience, and retention) initiative was
developed to build resilience and ethical practice in nursing
students, novice nurses and practicing nurses across Maryland.
Rushton is the co-creator of the Mindful Ethical Practice and
Resilience Academy (MEPRA) and the Rushton Moral Resilience
Scale.
“Nurses are a precious resource in our healthcare system. Now is
the time for us to stand together to restore our workforce and our
profession,” said Rushton, who serves as chief synergy strategist
for the R3 Resilient Nurses Initiative. “We are delighted to share
our resources across America through our collaboration.”
Thirty-eight R3 tools and resources will be integrated
throughout the Vizient/AACN NRP’s 12-month program, providing
educational content for nurse residents and supportive resources
for NRP coordinators. The primary goal is to enhance the
development and resilience of newly licensed nurses to foster a
culture that prioritizes well-being and professional integrity.
“The Vizient/AACN Nurse Residency Program is committed to
driving excellence in nursing practice,” said Evy Olson, vice
president of Nursing Programs at Vizient. “Integrating the R3 tools
into the NRP curriculum reflects our dedication to providing nurses
with the tools for long, healthy careers in nursing.”
