Introduction to the unit and onboarding with the unit leader, along with 2-3 unit-based orientation shifts each week with dedicated preceptors throughout their expected orientation period.
Completion of service line curriculum courses, simulation, skills validation, and other required training, along with unit-based orientation shifts with dedicated preceptors to capitalize on education and training specific to the service line.
Phase 3
Transition to full unit orientation to solidify your nursing practice in the care setting with skills validation for a transition to independent practice.Completion of professional development curriculum during months 6-12 of the first year of practice.
Upon completing orientation, the nurse resident takes a professional development curriculum with courses designed to promote clinical excellence, content on legal nursing documentation, ethics, emotional intelligence, emergency response,and skills refresher sessions.
