Our nurses work cohesively together to ensure that
our
patients are comfortable and informed about their care.
Members of the nursing
staff have support from nursing leadership, and they are
encouraged to become involved in the decision-making
process regarding patient care. Our nursing staff
consists of highly trained, experienced nurses as well
as new graduate nurses. The experienced nurses serve as
role models and mentors to our new staff, helping to
develop skills and critical thinking while the new
graduate nurses bring fresh ideas and enthusiasm to the
units.
New hire nurses will attend a week of nursing
orientation as well as a full day of hospital
orientation. The nursing orientation reviews basic
skill competencies and medication conversions and
calculations. Once the new RN or LPN has completed the
orientation, they will begin their individualized unit
orientation. Each orientation is designed to meet the
needs of the new hire which is based on their nursing
experiences and educational backgrounds. A unit
preceptor and educator will work with each new hire as
they transition to the unit and their primary shift.
