Shared governance builds on the foundation of an inclusive decision-making structure for nursing staff and nursing leaders. This model empowers staff nurses to work with a high level of autonomy, managing their clinical practice and working environment. Staff nurses lead or co-lead all councils within the shared governance model. Organizations with shared governance structures have a more creative and fulfilled workforce, lower staff turnover and vacancy rate, improved quality of care and positive work relationships.
The Critical Care Immersion Program is the first of its kind in the Twin Cities.

During the classroom phase, you’ll learn about hospital policies and protocols, nursing topics and the Electronic Medical Record system (EPIC).

All new nursing staff participate in a simulation experience in the HealthPartners Clinical Simulation Center and practical skills session.

Each cohort will learn about and discuss applicable topics, including transitioning from orientation, floating, work place violence prevention, ethical dilemmas and more. You’ll be supported as your begin your nursing journey.
