Rapid City Regional Hospital Receives PIN Grant

• RCRH and local nursing schools awarded a $500,000 grant to help prepare and retain nurses
• The grant is from Partners Investing in Nursing's Future (PIN)
• The two-year grant will fund "Prepare and Retain," a collaborative effort between RCRH, South Dakota State University and the University of South Dakota
• "Prepare and Retain" will help retain nurses in the health care work-force through their career continuum.
• Approximately 100 students are anticipated to participate over three semesters per year
• Participating nursing students are matched with a RCRH nurse staff mentor to guide them through their first year of employment, making new nurses more adept at their work, and easing the transition from student to nurse
