7. Leading Through the Experience-Complexity Gap The experience-complexity gap describes a phenomenon of a growing workforce of inexperienced nurses coupled with increasingly complex patient populations that has potential to place patient safety and quality at risk. Nurse leaders introduced innovative strategies to support, engage, and promote professional growth amongst new graduate nurses in alignment with key priorities from the Advisory Board Nursing Executive Center. Fundamentals skills trainings were employed to re-emphasize application of best-practice safety tools and critical thinking within high-fidelity simulation scenarios. Additionally, a new educator role was created to maximize the experience of expert nurses to provide “at the elbow” support for novice nurses on the nightshift. The health system experienced a decrease in nurse resident turnover, increase in confidence in fundamental skills, and improved perceptions of educator-support on the night shift after the implementation of these new strategies. It is essential for nurse leaders to invest in programs to prepare younger generations in the nursing workforce to grow confidence and competence in caring for complex needs of their patients.
