22. Interviews : General Impressions
A lot of variation in QI experience, from none to expert
Five organizations host medical residents from university
hospital programs; most have pre-licensure students from
various disciplines; none run their own residency programs
Many mentioned the complexity of FQHC patients, requiring
specialized training NPs don’t get in their graduate programs
Several mentioned that many new NPs have never worked as
RNs, and are coming from other fields into the direct entry
accelerated programs
23. Interviews : Expectations and Goals
• Want best practices and structure/guidance/resources
from the LC: how-to
• The first year out of school is overwhelming for new NPs
and want to help with the transition
• Recruitment/retention are major goals
• Concerns: organizational structure and resources required
to host and sustain an accredited program; financial
implications
