Continuity is IMPORTANT!

Everyday, our new nurses are given assignments with different people.
Sometimes they circulate, sometimes they scrub, but they are rarely with the same person twice in a row. How are they supposed to grow? How are the people they are with supposed to evaluate their progress effectively??

Why can't our Nursing Leaders that make the assignments understand that our new people are not learning 1/2 of the material they could be learning because they are forced to start over every day??

I think as leaders of the department, in the position to make the daily assignments, they have the duty to the new people to give them the best learning experience possible. Our Nursing Educator is new to her role and is trying hard not to step on the charge nurse feet. Her lack of leadership is negatively affecting our new nurses. Very soon, these new staff nurses will be on their own and will lack much of the training they should've received. Unfortunately, they know they are missing crucial information, but they have no idea what it entails and probably won't until a crisis situation.

I stepped out of my leadership role in March to focus on school and my kid. Now my voice is only one of the staff that has concerns and the charge nurse doesn't listen to us, the educator is ineffective, and the managers think the new people will learn via the trial by fire method.

Is that the best we can do for our patients? It's no wonder Surgical nurses have the reputation of "eating our young".
