Talking Re: Is this normal for agency? (long)

So what exactly does your orientation consist of??? Is it like when you start at a hospital or ltcf and you shadow a nurse? Is it enough for you to feel comfortable? I'm just doing the private duty for a paralyzed peds pt. with trach from cva due to brain tumors. I am happy with it but need a little more work so am thinking of the hospital which I have been out of for a few years. But not really sure if that is the way to go for me. Decisions, decisions.

In most places it is a quick tour to show you where supplies are and a look at the paperwork. The facilities are not interested in training an agency nurse, they want you to basically be able to function with a minimum of fuss.
