Abstract

The purpose of the quality improvement project was to explore if a formal preceptorship orientation program would minimize the low job satisfaction rate of registered nurses at a home health agency. The design included a pre and post evaluation completed by nurses that participated in the preceptorship orientation. Upon completing the preceptorship orientation, the new hires were given the McCloskey-Mueller Satisfaction Scale (MMSS) survey.
