April 11th, 2022: COVID-19 has exponentially increased the pressure on all sectors of healthcare. Our partners answered the call.
The pandemic has exposed vulnerabilities in traditional onboarding practices and abilities to staff organizations quickly and efficiently. If data analytics on the state of our workforce were important pre-COVID-19, it is now essential as we develop, direct, and implement the workforce staffing solutions that we seek. Therefore, the Versant® 2021 Annual Report will report on the state of new graduate nurses and transition fellows, highlighting differences between the groups while identifying successes and opportunities.

For more than twenty years, Versant has measured underlying metrics linked to the success of onboarding new graduate nurses and experienced nurses transitioning into new areas of practice (transition fellows). Every nurse, regardless of specialty area of practice or experience level, must be given the opportunity to develop clinically and professionally throughout their careers. A competency-based framework that prepares nurses
for clinical practice which includes supportive structures such as debriefing for self-care, mentoring for professional development, and integration of Quality Improvement or Evidence-Based Practice is an effective solution that healthcare organizations can implement and sustain.
