Orientation
Newly hired staff participate in a thorough orientation program including a full day of hospital orientation and departmental orientation. After completion of team orientation there is a validation period during which time new staff demonstrate their clinical competencies while providing supervised care. Upon demonstration of clinical competencies new staff gradually become more independent and start to take on a clinical caseload in a highly supportive, collaborative team environment.
