Evidence-based clinical decision-making is considered a core competency for professional nurses. However, barriers such as lack of time in clinical practice; information overload; restricted access to resources; lack of evidence appraisal skills, awareness, and knowledge; and unreliable resources prevent them from adopting evidence-based practice. This study examined the usefulness of the PubMed4Hh (PubMed for Handhelds) mobile application for clinical decision-making at the point of care among Maryland newly licensed RNs. Using iOS and Android smartphones, 178 newly licensed RNs participated in a 6-month trial from November 2019 to April 2020. Nurses manually entered free-text queries or used voice inputs on the “Patient, Intervention, Comparison, Outcome” or “askMEDLINE” search engines. The results retrieved were presented as journal article abstracts or short summaries called “the bottom line,” designed for quick reading at the point of care. Both Patient, Intervention, Comparison, Outcome and askMEDLINE were rated highly for their usefulness, and participants said they would continue using PubMed4Hh and recommend it to others. Newly licensed RNs had a significantly higher perception of the usefulness of PubMed4Hh when the results of “the bottom line” or abstracts confirmed, led, or modified their nursing skills, knowledge, or the patient's care plan.

“…Job dissatisfaction, decreased self-confidence, decreased quality of care, and a reduction in retention have all been linked to the deficiency in the preparation of new graduate nurses for practice (Brewer et al, 2013;Casey et al, 2021;Chant & Westendorf, 2019;Smith, 2021;Song & McCreary, 2020). Incorporating content involving communication into existing NRPs could have the potential of drastically improving the communication skills between new graduate nurses and other health care providers (Amudha et al, 2018;Bae et al, 2020;Esmaeilpour-Bandboni et al, 2017;Song & McCreary, 2020;Wang et al, 2018).…”

“…The National Council of State Boards of Nursing (NCSBN) also supports Transition to Practice programs (Transition to Practice, 2021). Graduate nurses have increased stress, anxiety, and a lack of confidence during the transition of student nurse to novice leading to decreased retention (Smith, 2021). Higher retention rates were correlated with NRPs such as the University Hospital Consortium (UHC)/American Association of College of Nursing (AACN) or Versant and Vizient versus organization-based programs (Asber, 2019).…”

Purpose:The purpose of this Quality Improvement project is to provide guidance to improve interprofessional communication between nurses transitioning to practice and experienced health care providers. Methods: Participants include the director and manager of a nursing residency program (NRP) at a large hospital in Florida. A web-based presentation was developed to teach the participants how to use the proposed evidence-based toolkit. The toolkit includes a pre-test survey, educational flyer, PowerPoint, and post-test survey. The PI solicited feedback on the perceived usefulness of the toolkit, perceived barriers, likelihood for implementation, and implementation status through online surveys. Results: Findings included mixed results on the perceived usefulness and barriers to implementation. However, the proposed evidence-based communication toolkit was partially implemented into the NRP. Discussion: NRPs are encouraged to allow for interactive sessions on effective communication skills between colleagues. Provision of opportunities for the development of teamwork skills, critical thinking, and communication skills will increase job satisfaction and self-confidence, improve quality of patient care, and increase nurse retention rates. Conclusion: Job dissatisfaction, self-confidence, quality of care, and retention have been linked to the preparation of new graduate nurses for practice. Incorporating communication content into existing NRPs could potentially improve the communication skills between new graduate outcomes, and professional development (Vizient/AACN Nurse Residency Program, 2022). The program consists of a one-year residency with monthly educational seminars, simulation case studies, guidance from a baccalaureate-prepared preceptor, and an assigned academic partner who assists with his or her professional role (Camp & Chappy, 2017; Vizient/AACN Nurse Residency Program, 2022). The benefits of an EB program include the development of decisionmaking competency, confidence, professional satisfaction, critical thinking skills, and an individualized plan for the nurse transitioning into practice (Vizient/AACN Nurse Residency Program, 2022). Additionally, EB NRPs incorporate a defined theoretical basis into the curriculum. Adversely, the length of an organizational-based program ranges from 16 weeks to one year (Ackerson & Stiles, 2018). Organizational-based programs are also developed without a defined theoretical basis, leaving it up to the organization to determine the curriculum (Ackerson & Stiles, 2018).Health care providers and nurses are two of the most important parts of the health care team and communication between team members is of the utmost importance to maintain high quality care. Communication is a two way process that involves sending and receiving the correct message (Wang et al., 2018). Although there is evidence that illustrates the benefits of communication to improve patient outcomes, unfortunately, miscommunication continues to occur in health care (Perry, 2016).
