4.2. Changes in nursing practice
The learning organization brought important changes to nursing
practice. Specifically, it brought a new culture to the nurses based
on continuous learning at work. According to six participants, the
mentoring program for nurses of zero to five years of experience
was a good incentive to new nurses to begin and continue working
in this CSSS and a great way to promote continuous learning. Firstly,
the program integrated new nurses to their environment through
training on the basic procedures in place in the CSSS given by a
nurse-educator. Secondly, novice nurses were paired with experience
colleagues in their specific field of practice in order to support knowledge transfer and their work. Thirdly, the nurse-educator
also conducted routine assessments of the novice nurse practice
to ensure the progression of her integration and knowledge acquisition.
