ANPD-Houston-Research Study Opportunity

Hello Colleagues

Houston Methodist Willowbrook Hospital has an RB approval for a 2-part research study to assess employer perceptions regarding new graduate registered nurse readiness for practice. Part 1 has been completed and we are looking for members to participate in a discussion/focus group related to their perceptions of the academic preparation of new graduate nurses. Part 1 involved the completion of Casey-Fink approved the use of their modified survey evaluating readiness for practice, and Part 2 involves the discussion of themes that emerged from that survey.

The discussion/focus group will take place on April 8, 2021. We ask that you email either Keeley Harmon (primary investigator) or Denise Stage McNulty (co-PI) at kcharmon@houstonmethodist.org or dsmcnulty@houstonmethodist.org regarding you’re your designee's desire to participate. Please feel free to forward this invitation to other members of the healthcare community that may wish to share their perspective.

Thank you
