Nursing Apprenticeships Solve Retention Issues for Hospitals

Retention stats from a 62-hospital system using an RN Resident Apprenticeship program across 19 states, with 592 residents, show they’re adding Specialty Fellowships. Many hospitals and larger systems are offering apprenticeships directly out of nursing school. There has been some decline in apprentice-level pay and a push for lengthier durations in some regional areas, while in others, they’ve expanded benefits, including tuition reimbursement and loan assistance. This seems to be heavily related to local staffing levels and supply. A 93% retention rate is impressive—their press release deserves the plaudits.

This shields healthcare providers from criminal prosecution, not civil malpractice cases. The goal is to improve patient safety by encouraging the reporting of errors.
