Transitioning from Education to Practice: Associate Degree Program, Senior Clinical at a Skilled Nursing Facility, a Pilot Program

Over the last 4 years, there has been a shift in where associated degree registered nurses (ADNs) are being employed. There has been an increase of ADN graduates employed at skilled nursing facilities on a local, regional, and national level in the United States. Graduate surveys from the last 4 years demonstrate that the number of our graduates working at the skilled/subacute nursing facilities had increased to 33% –37% from 10%–15% and had decreased at the acute care facilities to 18%–21% from 35%–40%.
