Information Resource Training for Nurse Interns

Abstract

As part of a comprehensive general training program for newly-graduated RNs hired by Dixie Regional Medical Center (DRMC), special components focusing on information resources made available by the parent corporation (Intermountain Healthcare) were developed and delivered. This included a pre-training survey to gauge knowledge and effective orientation of participants and a post-training survey administered 3-6 months after hire to measure usage and comfort level using information resources. A web page within DRMC with links especially for the nurse interns was developed.
