Oregon Nurse Retention Project
Results of the Oregon Nurse Retention Project research are now available. This project included many member of ONA who contributed to the expanding knowledge about retention of nurses in nursing practice. The project was conducted by the Occupational
Psychology Department, Portland State University (PSU) in collaboration with Oregon Nurses Association, Professional Services Program. The study is funded by the Northwest Health Foundation.
Nurse Staffing Survey
The nurse staffing survey of direct care and administrative nurse members of Hospital Nurse Staffing Committees (created by the Oregon Nurse Staffing Law) is conducted annually in collaboration with the Oregon Nurse Staffing Collaborative. The members of the collaborative create the survey questions, conduct the survey of the nearly 60 nurse staffing committees in all acute care facilities in Oregon, analyze the results, and prepare
a report.
End of Life Survey
End of life and palliative care has long been a focus at ONA. In 2005 – 2006, data was collected from nurses who attended ONA conventions, and ONA-sponsored pain management conferences to determine whether nurses in practice felt they had sufficient competency
to care for individuals who were in need of palliative and end of life care, and what ethical issues were faced in this clinical situation.
Advanced Practice Surveys
Clinical nurse specialists (CNSs) and nurse practitioners (NPs) are among the members of ONA who participate in a special interest group for their role/practice. Both CNSs (2008) and NPs have conducted surveys to identify demographic information,
practice patterns, issues and barriers of those in the role. The following advanced practice surveys are available upon request:
