SNMIC and Workforce Connections request input on Registered Nurse Internship Partnership Program
America’s healthcare institutions such as hospitals, nursing homes, primary care clinics, and home healthcare providers are struggling on the human resources front. To deliver adequate care, the healthcare industry needs a well-trained workforce and a reliable “pipeline” of workers to fill vacancies and address current and projected shortages. Workforce Connections (WC) and The Southern Nevada Medical Industry Coalition (SNMIC) have partnered to develop and implement a program to support new graduate RNs and their employers. The overall goal is to have new nurses more effectively transition into an exciting but challenging workplace. The goal will be achieved by providing new nurse orientation resources to both the nurses and their employers. For example, eligible employers will receive up to 50% wage reimbursement for RNs during their orientation to the workplace.
