Scheduling Orientation
Orientation to the hospital and nursing unit must be completed prior to or as part of the first clinical day. Please reach out to schedule orientation at least two weeks prior to the clinical start date.
- Group clinical orientation will be scheduled by the nursing instructor. Orientation will be one to two hours based on size and clinical type and consist of classroom time and tour.
- Leadership student orientation will be scheduled by the individual student. Orientation will be approximately one hour and consist of classroom time and tour.
- Instructor orientation for instructors who will be onsite with student groups will be scheduled by the nursing instructor. This must be completed before you bring students for their first clinical rotation. Instructor orientation does not need to be redone, unless there was greater than 1 year in between clinicals. Orientation will be one hour classroom time followed by unit shadow for a few hours. Your nurse preceptor will verify competence at the end of your shadow.
- Instructor orientation for leadership students is not required. If you meet onsite with your leadership students, please enter the building through the West Addition entrance.
