Shelby Humphry has been at Grande Ronde Hospital for eight years and is currently in the Emergency Department with previous experience working as a house float. During her time as a house float and a new grad herself within the organization, she saw a need for a more collaborative plan for orientation in all units. She successfully worked with leadership and administration to implement a vision of culture change aimed at new nurse orientation to promote nurse retention, satisfaction, and education. Her preceptor program has been fully adopted in all inpatient units and continues to grow and change with the shifting needs of a critical access facility.
