Program objectives included providing specialized skills training to meet the needs of high-acuity patient population and reviewing nurse-sensitive indicator-associated care bundles with the goal of increasing compliance. Description of the project An 8-hour program of lecture and hands-on skills was developed. Curriculum included nursing-sensitive indicators, sepsis management, complex tubes and drains, airway management, and emergency response. Clinical nurse specialists mentored senior nurses to colead program planning and execution. The program has been offered 9 times. Qualitative and quantitative data were collected on attendees. Outcome Quantitative data analysis showed that 89% of the assessed components were affected by the program. Medium effect was noted in defibrillator skills, retrieving items from code care, care of suicidal patient, and sepsis screening. Qualitative data based on attendee survey are also presented and analyzed. Decreases in indwelling catheter utilization on select units are discussed.
