Abstract
Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between new graduate RN (NGRN) saturation and nurse-sensitive patient outcomes and experiences.
Background: Many nurse leaders believe that the number of NGRNs should be limited to ensure high-quality care. To our knowledge, there is no previous evidence quantifying the impact of NGRNs' saturation on patient outcomes.
Methods: Researchers analyzed nurse staffing metrics and patient outcomes from 79 distinct medical-surgical units within 22 hospitals, from 2017 to 2022. Outcomes included fall rates, catheter-associated urinary tract infections, central line-associated bloodstream infections extracted from the electronic health record, and patient experience metrics collected via survey.
Results: The researchers identified no statistically significant relationships between NGRN saturation and patient outcomes or experiences.
Conclusions: These findings do not support limiting the number of NGRNs on medical-surgical units out of concern for negative impact on nurse-sensitive quality of care outcomes.
