This document outlines a theory-based orientation plan for vascular access specialists consisting of 5 stages: novice, advanced beginner, competent, proficient, and expert. Each stage includes objectives and activities targeting the cognitive, psychomotor, and affective domains of learning based on theories by Dreyfus, Benner, and Bloom. The goal is to equip new specialists with knowledge, skills, and values for providing high-quality vascular access services. Assessment involves direct observation, weekly meetings, competency checklists, and perceived readiness to advance stages over an average of 8 weeks to competency. The theory-based plan aimed to be more comprehensive and achieve success rates over 90% faster than the previous plan.

Lining Up to Infuse Excellence Assessing Competency Moving to the next stage in the continuum • Direct observation of practice by preceptor • Weekly meeting with manager and preceptor to assess progress and set goals • Assessment of learner’s perceived readiness • Completion of competency checklist with preceptor – Not based on number of insertions but on mastery of skills. Volume of procedures is key.
- 20. Lining Up to Infuse Excellence Lessons Learned • One preceptor? Or a variety? • Weekly meetings with manager & preceptor – Leadership connection and support • Develop relationships – Communicate confidence in preceptor and learner – Solve problems early – Celebrate wins
- 21. Lining Up to Infuse Excellence Outcomes • 12 weeks average time to competency • Less comprehensive • Longer time to success rate >90% • $15,000 (orientee salary only) Former Plan • 8 weeks average time to competency • More comprehensive • Shorter time to success rate >90% • $10,000 (orientee salary only) Theory- based Plan

Editor's Notes
- This is our 12 member Vascular Access team including our manager and missing one member. We work for a hospital network system of 9 hospitals and we cover 7 of those, and place over 5,000 PICCs/year. We are not site-based, so we all travel between sites. As we continued to grow and add new nurses, several who had not placed PICCs before, we decided we needed to modify how we oriented new staff. We developed and trialed our new orientation plan based on nursing theory.
- So why theory-based education? Florence Nightingale was the first to use a theoretical foundation in nursing. As we all know, I’m sure, she is the founder of modern nursing, but she was also the first nursing theorist as well as statistician.
- So this is the Dreyfus model of skill acquisition. It is a model of how students acquire skills through formal instruction and practice. The five learning stages are novice, advanced beginner, competent, proficient and expert.
- Patricia Benner applied the Dreyfus model to nursing, using the 5 stages of learning and this is the model we used.
- Practically, we used Bloom's Taxonomy as a way to include learning activities, using each domain, to teach at each stage of Benner’s model. So these two components were used concurrently with good outcomes.
- So, this was our goal for our orientation plan, rather than just a check off list. We wanted to use theory as a foundation to build a comprehensive, structured, yet flexible, evidence-based orientation plan. Let’s go through the orientation plan with Patty PICC nurse.
- A new specialty area places the learner back in the novice category, where they must learn a new skill set. They have No situational context No experience in new area of practice and Need concrete rules
- These are the activities that were used at the novice stage For example, we use Nancy Moreau’s PICC Excellence online program for competency Team members volunteered to let orientees scan their arms using the ultrasound At this stage we showed a video of Victoria Nahum telling the story of losing her son, Josh, to a HAI. It also important to touch the heart
- So next we have the advanced beginner stage, moving from concrete rules to learning to recognize important elements of practice and apply guidelines. This stage is by far the longest, at about 6 weeks. This is where the novice gains valuable information needed to fully assess the patient, discuss contraindications for a PICC, such as chronic kidney disease, mastectomy, or skin integrity, as well as have the time for performing supervised PICC insertions. Also, in this stage the weekly meetings are very important, in order to assess the progress of the new vascular access nurse, to celebrate successes and help with any issues.
- Examples of activities in this stage include the orientee reviewing the national guidelines and evidence that supports our practice. Sterile technique is assessed during proctored PICC insertions, ECG tip locating system is taught and utilized, and patients’ rights and responsibilities are discussed. The preceptor encourages self-assessment and to seek assistance when needed. Continuing to impart knowledge, continuing psychomotor skills, pass on the values of our profession
- In the competent stage there is a feeling of mastery and the ability to manage complications and troubleshoot problems. The new vascular access nurse develops speed and flexibility, and confidence. PICC insertions are performed with minimal supervision and advance to independent Make this more conversational Maybe use a Patty Pick or Veronica Vein and talk about their progression
- (PICC Dashboard) CRNI Patty’s going to learn about the technology we use to track PICC insertions, complications, studies and move to independent insertions. They will also talk about certification and lifelong learning etc
- Perceives situations holistically, can determine what is most important and anticipate needs. Flexible and efficient
- Not everyone will choose to be an expert, and that’s ok. very learner directed
- These are examples of self-directed learning activities that might be considered by the Stage 5
- How do you know when it’s time and what criteria is used to decide when it is time to move on? When the preceptor, manager and orientee agree that each stage has been mastered
- One preceptor, one orientee from beginning to end, but with feedback, important early but then at competent stage it was valuable to work with other team members
