Interior Health is facing an ongoing shortage of emergency nurses, estimated at 113 per year. To fill this gap in a timely and cost-effective way, Interior Health has designed an in-house education and training program. This program is called the Regional Emergency Department Training Program. In order to keep funding for the project, the effectiveness of the REDEP training must be evaluated and analyzed. For this purpose, we set out to create an evaluation tool for Interior Health to utilize in order to determine if the REDEP program is effectively training new graduate nurses for emergency nursing.
