Pheobe issued the following announcement on Nov. 25.
Phoebe won a regional Brilliance Award from Vizient Southern States for its unique program to train new nurse graduates. Phoebe’s education team developed the Nursing Simulation and Training Education Program (NSTEP) last year when early COVID-19 restrictions prevented nursing students from completing clinical rotations that typically provide them with vital hands-on training before graduation.
“We quickly developed a comprehensive curriculum to ensure each of those new nurses was prepared on day one at the bedside to provide safe, high-quality care to our patients,” said Tracy Suber, EdD, Phoebe Vice President of Education. “The 8-week program included hands-on simulation and skills lab time in the Phoebe Simulation & Innovation Center. It proved so successful, we modified it into a 6-week program that is now required for all new nurse graduates we hire,” she added.
Phoebe was one of six members of Vizient Southern States honored with Brilliance Awards for their presentations at the national conference.
