🏥Last week, Karen Ofafa, EdD, MPH, BSN, RN, director, Transition to Practice Program at AzHHA, spent time at Aurora Behavioral Health System - Tempe, one of the program’s participating facilities. During the visit, the team at the facility shared that their favorite part of the Arizona Transition to Practice Program is the support the entire hospital receives while engaging with the program. What participants from Aurora Behavioral Health System - Tempe are saying: 👨🏫Grayson, a preceptor in the program since the March 2024 cohort, has a lot of experience in behavioral health and loves to teach new grads, but he had not received formal training on how to precept. Grayson shared that the Arizona Transition to Practice Program’s Preceptor Academy has helped him not only understand the role of the preceptor but also provided him the necessary tools to be able to uniquely individualize the needs of the new graduate nurses he is supporting. 👩⚕️Hannah, a new graduate nurse in the June 2024 cohort, had completed nursing school and passed her board certification, but she did not feel prepared to provide patient care independently. Hannah recalls her clinicals were not specific to behavioral health. She shared: “This program provides me the specific behavioral health curriculum that I did not receive in nursing school.” Interested in learning more about this program?

The Arizona Healthcare Directives Registry (AzHDR) offers Arizonans a unique and vital service to ensure their healthcare wishes are known and respected, even when they cannot voice them themselves.
