Evaluating an RN/co-worker model.

In 1988 the University of Kentucky Hospital implemented a nurse extender model to cope with diminishing RN resources. After a year and a half of operation the model was evaluated in terms of training costs, retention, personnel costs, RN and co-worker satisfaction, and impact on quality of care. The authors conclude that although it has some limitations, the Co-worker Model allowed patient beds to remain open while minimally affecting quality.
