The New to Practice (NTP) to Medical Surgical
Nursing Program
For recent graduates from an accredited RN program,
Penn Presbyterian also offers a special program
for new to practice nurses who are interested
in working in a medical surgical area of the
hospital.
Based on the assessment of the NTP nurses' learning
styles, clinical strengths and weaknesses, we
modify the program to meet their educational
needs. Emphasis is placed on application of critical
thinking in emergent and urgent situations and
enhancement of clinical skills.
The
informal classroom setting enhances open communication,
self-reflection, and the mentoring process. Classroom
modules include, but are not limited to the following:
- Medication administration review with emphasis
- on quality administration and risk management
- Documentation and Sunrise computer orientation
- Phlebotomy and peripheral and central IVs-
hands on care
- Pain Management, PCA and Epidural – hands
on care
- 12 hour Respiratory Care and BiPAP support – hands
on care
- Remote Telemetry Course – Assessment
and nursing needs
- Code readiness for Medical Surgical Nurse
- The golden 3 minute -hands on care
- Cardiac, GI assessment – hands on care
A precepted clinical orientation to facilitate
the transition into the role of the staff nurse
is also offered. During this time safety, responsibility
and accountability will be of primary focus.
It is preferable that the graduate nurse has
a RN license before date of hire or a Temporary
License and State Board Examination date within
60 days from date of hire.
