Daedong Hospital Holds 3rd New Nurse Independence Day Event

Daedong Hospital held the 3rd New Nurse Independence Day event on the 10th in the 10th-floor auditorium.

The Nursing Department at Daedong Hospital operates a 6-month preceptor program to help new nurses adapt to their work upon joining.

A preceptor is a senior nurse with extensive experience who mentors a new nurse one-on-one. This system guarantees education by securing a standardized training program and a 6-month training period.

The training covers standardized theoretical education such as ▲intravenous infusion therapy ▲medication nursing ▲clinical pathology tests ▲fall management for hospitalized patients ▲imaging tests and nursing ▲endoscopic examinations and endoscopic surgery ▲transfusion nursing ▲standard nursing record documentation methods.

Additionally, practical training essential for clinical settings is conducted at least once every quarter, including ▲antibiotic skin reaction test practice ▲accurate insulin administration practice ▲indwelling catheter nursing practice ▲transfusion nursing practice, contributing to the improvement of new nurses' work skills.

After the training period ends, the New Nurse Independence Day event is held as a form of encouragement for new nurses starting to work independently under their preceptors. November 11, which has four '1's symbolizing standing alone, was designated for this event, marking its 3rd year this year.

At the commemorative event, starting with a test to assess readiness for independence, 22 new nurses of 2023 received a small gift and a certificate of completion to celebrate their independence.

Jung Mi-jin, head of the Nursing Department at Daedong Hospital, said, “New nurses who join the hospital for the first time take the first step to becoming professional nurses. At this time, education from experienced seniors helps strengthen professionalism and competence as nurses and serves as a good opportunity to solidify beliefs and values.”
