OUTCOME: WORKFORCE READINESS & RETENTION
Workforce-Ready Teams That Stay
Achieve builds competency-based, simulation-driven onboarding and upskilling pathways that accelerate readiness, reduce turnover, and support career growth for nurses across their career.
Organizations using Achieve report 40% faster time-to-independent practice and 25% lower first-year turnover
Achieve: Your Workforce Development Engine
Healthcare organizations are under pressure to fill shifts, protect quality, and keep nurses engaged in the face of staffing shortages and national healthcare stressors. Achieve gives you a structured, simulation‑driven way to prepare and retain nurses across their careers instead of relying on ad‑hoc orientation and informal precepting.
What Makes Achieve Different:
- Competency‑first design that starts with your organizational needs and works backward to clear learning objectives
- Role‑specific pathways for new graduates, lateral hires, cross‑training, and advancement into new units and specialties
- Scalable delivery using high‑fidelity simulation, VR, and hybrid models so teams in hospitals, clinics, and long‑term care can all participate
- Retention‑focused approach that builds confidence, connection, and a sense of belonging from day one
Complete Solution Set
What You Get
Gap analysis, role‑based competency maps, assessment tools, and validation protocols for key nursing roles and practice areas
How It Helps
Puts everyone on the same page about what “workforce‑ready” means, making readiness decisions clearer and more consistent
Accelerate Readiness
Simulation‑based onboarding and clear Achieve pathways help partners move nurses to independent practice faster while maintaining safety, using competency data instead of fixed timelines.
Improve Engagement
When nurses see a structured path, regular simulation, and support from trained preceptors, partners report stronger engagement and sense of belonging among program participants.
Reduce Turnover Costs
External research shows each nurse who leaves can cost tens of thousands of dollars. Partners using Achieve‑supported programs have seen meaningful reductions in first‑year turnover compared with traditional onboarding.
Make Staffing Data-Driven
By capturing performance and skills validation data through Achieve and LearningSpace, leaders can match nurses to assignments based on demonstrated readiness and build stronger cases for workforce investments.
Proven Results
Case Study: Regional Health System
“Our first-year RN turnover was 35%. After implementing Achieve’s competency-based onboarding with simulation checkpoints, we dropped to 22% within two years. New grads consistently tell us the simulation practice made them feel prepared and supported—not thrown to the wolves.”
