The UNMC College of Nursing is offering a unique opportunity for 12 Nebraska nurses to improve their skills and further their education in leadership and primary care practice through a free, yearlong fellowship program.<\/p>\n

The UNMC PriCare Fellowship<\/a>, part of UNMC’s Nurses are Primary<\/a> program, funded by a four-year, $2.6 million grant from the U.S. Health Resources & Services Administration (HRSA), will provide training in leadership, communication, management, practice transformation, payment models and more.<\/p>\n

Kate Fiandt, Ph.D., UNMC College of Nursing professor and associate dean for transformational practice and partnerships, said this advanced training is “mutually beneficial” both for these nurses and their employers.<\/p>\n

Dr. Fiandt said clinic managers have been especially enthusiastic about the idea. Many see great potential in their nurses and would love to see them do more.<\/p>\n

“What we talk about in nursing is the idea of practicing at the top of your scope of practice,” Dr. Fiandt said.<\/p>\n

This can result in better outcomes for patients, a career boost for the nurses, and a stronger bottom line for clinics, Dr. Fiandt said.<\/p>\n

But, “They don’t know how to train them, and we do.”<\/p>\n

This training takes place over a 12-month period, beginning in September. Training and instruction can be done remotely, at a computer, or at any of UNMC’s five nursing divisions across the state — Omaha, Lincoln, Norfolk, Kearney or Scottsbluff — or a combination of both. The time commitment is one half-day per month, with one to two additional hours of online work and one monthly practice project.<\/p>\n

Most of the hands-on projects could be done at work, as part of a regular workday.<\/p>\n

Fellowship candidates would preferably be registered nurses, or RNs, working currently or strongly motivated to work in primary care.<\/p>\n

Fellowship graduates will earn continuing education credits and will be prepared to take the ANCC Board Exam for Ambulatory Care Nursing Certification (RN-BC).<\/p>\n

The program is free to PriCare fellows, thanks to UNMC’s Nurses are Primary program and the HRSA grant.<\/p>\n

For more information, go to www.unmcpricare.org<\/a> or email pricare@unmc.edu<\/a>. Applications are due Aug. 19.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
