During their integration into the health care system, new nursing graduates encounter many challenges, in particular with health situations that are becoming ever more complex. They frequently see clinical situations they have not previously been exposed to—an inevitability given the variety and complexity of real-world practice. It is therefore essential to adequately support and equip new nurses for the particular context within which they will be working in the Quebec health care system, while enabling them to provide quality care. Educational innovation is one way to meet the needs of this new generation that will have to learn to navigate the health system and quickly adapt to working within it. This paper presents a definition and a contextualization of educational innovation. It will highlight the incentives and barriers to innovation, will describe its impact on training and clinical practice, and will differentiate the strategies that lead to the development of innovation. Finally, different levers to ensure the sustainability of the innovation will be discussed.
