“ Integrating advanced technology in nursing education is having a transformational impact on the field of nursing. Virtual classes like the Preceptor Challenge allow our nurses to learn in new and innovative ways, ultimately improving patient care and outcomes.”

Kim Mullen, MSN, RN Nursing Director, Nursing Education, Nursing Quality Improvement and Magnet Recognition Program

TECHNOLOGY

The Preceptor Challenge

Hoag is proud to offer a Nursing Preceptorship to bridge the gap between the classroom and the clinical area. Being a preceptor for Hoag is rewarding for experienced nurses who become role models and mentors, helping other nurses achieve their full potential.

Through donor contributions, Hoag preceptors took part in a groundbreaking, highly interactive new course, The Preceptor Challenge. Using virtual characters in realistic hospital settings, nurses had the opportunity to apply theory-based practices in real-life interactive scenarios.

Hoag recognizes the importance of our preceptors and the vital role they play in the education of our nurses.

AN INVESTMENT IN NURSING EXCELLENCE

Since the inception of Choose Nursing, Choose Hoag (CNCH) in 2004, over $24 million has been raised for nursing education initiatives and over 600 Hoag nurses have received CNCH-funded scholarship awards for their continued education, training, and advanced degrees, with a record number of 363 awarded last year alone. These scholarships were made possible through your generous contributions and are granted in recognition of talent, achievement and dedication to Hoag nursing excellence.

The collective generosity from the Argyros Family Foundation and the community has allowed Hoag to increase the scholarship amount awarded annually to each Hoag nurse from $2,000 to $6,000. This increase has been essential in making it possible for a record number of dedicated nurses to advance their education, research and practice.

CONFERENCESYour commitment to nursing excellence at Hoag is also demonstrated through the donations we receive for Hoag nurses to attend regional, state and national conferences as a way to increase their knowledge-base and stay abreast of leading-edge techniques and technology within their specialty area.

The Magic of Magnet

More than 7,500 nurses from the Nation’s top hospitals, including 57 Hoag nurses, attended The Magic of Magnet at the ANCC National

Magnet Conference in Orlando, Florida. This annual conference celebrated Magnet Recognition and gathered nurses from across the country to share evidence-based practices to enhance quality outcomes and elevate patient care at Hoag.

“ This conference served to empower our nurses with the education and skills necessary to continue the Magnet journey of achieving excellence in nursing practice at Hoag.”

Diana Brotman, BSN, RN Hoag Nurse

Embracing Excellence in Oncology Nursing Practice

Made possible by the generosity of Circle 1000, a volunteer group that has raised over $15 million dollars for Hoag to support cancer care, Hoag’s Annual Oncology Nursing Conference is becoming known as the premier regional nursing oncology conference for the west coast, attracting speakers and nurses from all over the country.

During this two-day event, 150 oncology and radiation oncology nurses, including 55 Hoag nurses, benefitted from an intimate learning environment in which prominent faculty presented the latest in oncology care and provided practical strategies and tools to improve nursing practice. In addition to offering strong clinical content from leading experts, the conference provided the necessary context to integrate information into practice to improve the quality of our patients’ lives.

Medical-Surgical Nursing Conference and the Cardiovascular and Critical Care Nursing Conference

Thanks to the generosity of donor Marilyn McIntyre, Hoag nurses are able to update their knowledge in the fields of medical surgical nursing and critical care nursing. The two conferences funded annually by the McIntyre Nursing Education Conference Fund are priceless opportunities for Hoag nurses to learn the latest advances in critical and cardiovascular patient care.

EDUCATION The Need

Since the start of the 21st century, patients’ needs and care environments have become more complex, requiring nurses to attain requisite skills to deliver higher-quality care.

In 2010, the Institute of Medicine (IOM) issued an ambitious goal for hospitals to maintain Magnet status: increase the proportion of nurses with baccalaureate or bachelor of science in nursing degrees from approximately 50 percent to 80 percent by 2020. Hoag is committed to supporting this initiative by providing the necessary funds for our working nurses to earn higher degrees, while also increasing the quality of patient care at Hoag due to the direct correlation between RN education levels and positive patient outcomes.

Hoag donors are playing an integral role in helping Hoag reach these nursing education objectives for 2020 and ensuring nursing excellence at Hoag. The scholarships you support enable Hoag to continue providing the significant resources needed for nurses to advance their education, ultimately improving the delivery of care to our patients, now and in the future.
