Student externships and nurse residency programs (NRPs) bridge academic-practice gaps, contributing to improved NGN retention. This study assesses the impact of student externship participation on NGN outcomes within an NRP.Method: The single-hospital study compares NGNs in an NRP who had completed a student externship during nursing school (Student-Extern NGNs) with those who had not (Traditional-Pathway NGNs). Validated surveys were used to collect work experience data, and comparisons were drawn between groups.Results: Student-Extern NGNs reported higher mean scores for satisfaction, work effectiveness, organizational commitment, and group cohesion. They also showed a greater increase in self-efficacy and a lower actual turnover rate (10%) compared with Traditional-Pathway NGNs (22%).Conclusion: Student externship participation positively influences NGNs' perceptions of their roles and work environment, enhancing satisfaction, commitment, self-efficacy, and ultimately, retention within an NRP.","PeriodicalId":49295,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Continuing Education in Nursing","volume":"56 10","pages":"421-427"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2025-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145193604","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Nurses in a rural emergency department viewed a 20-minute YouTube video and participated an interactive face-to-face session 2 weeks after the online presentation. Changes in knowledge and self-efficacy were assessed immediately after the online education and 2 months after the interactive session.Results: Of the 13 RNs, six viewed the video and 10 attended the interactive sessions. Of the five RNs who completed the post-video assessments, knowledge and self-efficacy scores showed improvement of 33.67% and 12.23%, respectively. Only two RNs completed the assessments following the interactive sessions.Conclusion: Nurses' knowledge and confidence in triaging and identifying postpartum patients and complications improved after online education. Low-cost, accessible continuing education programs can offer an effective means for furthering competence and confidence.","PeriodicalId":49295,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Continuing Education in Nursing","volume":"56 10","pages":"428-433"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2025-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145193731","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Once initial validity was established, the NEFI was pilot tested.Results: Four NGNs provided face validity. Five experts provided content validity assessment. Twelve criteria were maintained (0.733 Scale-level Content Validity Index/Average), nine criteria met Item-level Content Validity Index threshold (0.80), and one criterion from each category did not meet thresholds and was modified but retained. Ninety-two participants pilot tested the NEFI. Almost 100% agreed questions were relevant, and 84% agreed the NEFI helped them decide what clinical area to apply for. Twenty-nine participants completed a 6-month questionnaire. Sixty-five percent indicated they applied following NEFI recommendations. Seventy-three percent agreed taking the NEFI when seeking a job would be beneficial.Conclusion: Initial testing showed reliability and validity of the NEFI.

Although the Canadian Triage and Acuity Scale (CTAS) is widely implemented in Saudi Arabia, variability in triage accuracy remains as a result of limited formal training. This study assessed the impact of a structured CTAS educational intervention on nurses' triage knowledge and the performance of a hospital-based urgent care center.Method: A quasi-experimental pretest/posttest design was used. Fifteen nurses at a high-volume urgent care center completed a 1-day CTAS Proficiency Training Course. A 15-item scenario-based questionnaire measured knowledge before and after training. The urgent care center time-based indicators (registration-to-triage, triage-to-decision, and total length of stay) were extracted for 1 month before and after the intervention, covering 33,720 patient visits. Data were analyzed with the Mann-Whitney U and Wilcoxon signed-rank tests.Results: Knowledge scores improved significantly (p = .015). All of the urgent care center time intervals decreased (p < .001), with CTAS Level II waiting times dropping from 33 to 9 minutes.Conclusion: The CTAS training enhanced nurse triage knowledge and improved urgent care efficiency. Structured triage education is recommended.","PeriodicalId":49295,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Continuing Education in Nursing","volume":"56 10","pages":"407-412"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2025-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145193609","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Data were collected with a data collection form prepared on the basis of the literature and analyzed with IBM SPSS software.Results: Among the nurses, 47.4% accurately reported the rate of chest compressions, whereas 61.3% correctly identified the depth of chest compressions. The percentage of those who knew the ventilation rate during cardiopulmonary resuscitation was 68.6%, with the ability to recognize ventricular tachycardia and ventricular fibrillation at 67.2% and 82.5%, respectively.Conclusion: Nurses in intensive care units performed better in in-hospital resuscitation skills compared with those in other departments; however, these skills need improvement.
