What is included in the nursing staff orientation process?
As a new member of our nursing staff, you will attend New Employee Onboarding to become familiar with the basic safety, quality, and clinical effectiveness policies of Memorial. This is followed by participation in a four-and-a-half day Central Nursing Orientation, working in a team-centered learning environment to understand roles of patient care givers at Memorial. Members of many nursing and interdisciplinary departments interact with you on topics including the nursing mission and vision, chain of command, nursing skills, medication administration, team nursing, quality improvement, cultural competence, and coping with personal and professional transition processes. Your progress through orientation is documented in a competency Orientation and Learning Plan that is shared with your nurse manager and preceptor. Orientation continues within each nursing unit, focusing on unit-specific competencies and initiatives.
