SUMMARY BACKGROUND: Residency programs, especially in surgery, have been undergoing constant changes. The profile of residents in surgical fields is changing too since residents are now part of the Generation Y (Millenials). This change in profile mandates a re-evaluation to adapt surgical residency programs. Six years ago, we carried out a study evaluating attitudes and experiences during training, and the professional expectations of residents. This study aims to survey surgical residents to evaluate current attitudes, experiences, and expectations. METHODS: We surveyed 50 residents to determine professional satisfaction, residency-program satisfaction, future expectations, financial expectations, and correct attitude towards patients. RESULTS: Our results show that half of the residents are satisfied with the residency program. However, dissatisfaction reaches 40% on surgical volume and 80% on mentorship; 62% of the residents are not confident to perform operations after the residency, the majority believes a specialization is necessary; most residents believe financial compensation will decrease with time, but concerns with reimbursement are low; and most residents are worried about injuring patients, but only two thirds are satisfied working with patients. CONCLUSIONS: Current residents present lower job satisfaction and more criticism of teaching techniques. These changes compared to previous results match the profile of Generation Y, who is more iconoclastic when compared to previous generations.

Nurse Residency Program

Perioperative service is one of the specialties of nursing in which a team approach is vital for optimal patient care. The registered nurse is responsible for coordinating and delivering safe patient care. Operating room (OR) nurses are responsible for applying fundamental applications of the nursing process while formulating plans of care unique to surgical patients. The growing shortage of nurses worldwide especially impacts highly complex areas such as the OR, where skills specialized are needed to care for patients. One of the largest challenges of a graduate nurse (GN) is becoming enculturated to new environments. Traditionally, OR nursing is a paradigm foreign in nursing curricula; this creates challenges in the GN population in applying their practical nursing skills to surgical patients. In an effort to combat ongoing knowledge deficits unique to OR nursing, Houston Methodist Hospital (HMH) created an OR nurse residency program. The literature suggests that specialty-specific nursing residency programs offer GNs essential tools for becoming successful in their transition. Additionally, research suggests reductions in nurse burnout and turnover rate among GNs with adequate training and preparation. The purpose of this article was to provide insight on the importance of introduction to the OR prior to graduating from nursing school and the importance of OR nursing specialty residency programs and specialty educators as they pertain to the ideal nursing transition, sustainability, retention, and favorable patient outcomes. A questionnaire was created to capture successful applicable practices; the questionnaire also provided an opportunity for GNs to suggest opportunities for program improvements. The questionnaire was used to explore feedback from the summer 2014 Operating Room (OR) residency program graduate nurses in an effort to capture improvements needed for future program success.
