GPHP Director Susan B. Thomas was delighted and honored today to attend Temple University Hospital’s  Nurse Residency Graduation. The ceremony recognized 20 new nurses, 16 of whom were also participants in the Delaware Valley Healthcare Training and Employment (DVHTE) project. Sponsored by the District 1199C Training & Upgrading Fund and administered by the Greater Philadelphia Healthcare Partnership, DVHTE is a US Department of Labor project supporting the reemployment of un- and under-employed Delaware Valley residents in high-skill, high-wage and high-growth fields such as healthcare.

Today’s event was the culmination of a full first year at Temple for these new RNs, which provided them with a wonderful opportunity to learn on-the-job via work-based learning with preceptors and other mentors, as well as regularly scheduled classroom seminars.  Furthermore, all participants were engaged in evidence-based research projects, which were presented on posters accompanied by personal talks during the graduation ceremony.
Temple’s Nurse Residency program is about five years old and is a “win-win” for Temple and its new hires. The hospital is able to attract and retain a pipeline of new nurses needed to meet demand brought on by business growth and baby boomer retirements to come, while the new nurses gain acute care positions with a great hospital that will hire them without experience but with academic credentials and great promise. Through DVHTE, GPHP provides Temple with enhancements to its Nurse Residency program.  There are significant financial rewards for On -the Job Training of those who either lost a job at some time since December 2007, or who graduated from college and were unable to find a position immediately as many acute care hospitals only hire those with experience.  The DVHTE project provides participants with stipends for advanced education, coaching, and access to all of the District 1199C Training Fund’s community benefit programs.

This graduation ceremony included a presentation by Jennifer Rodriguez, a member of the first Nurse Residency class in 2012.  She emphasized the importance of teamwork and high ethical and professional standards, as well as an interest in helping others, as the keys to success as a nurse.  Julie Graham, one of the graduates, was a featured speaker as well, and she commended the opportunity provided by the program to connect with great mentors and peer support.  Nine evidence based research presentations were made, with many of our DVHTE participants speaking about their work.
