i was just wondering, in a few other threads i hear several talking about thier 3 day orientations. are these just for the new students like i would have had a year ago or do most nursing programs have a separate orientation? what does it usually consist of and do you think i will hear of one for my adn program soon, classes start aug 04. thanks!:uhoh21:

Specializes in Critical Care (ICU/CCU).

At my school the Nursing Program was seperate from the school orientation...and it was 3 days long! I didn't think they could possibly have enough stuff to talk about in 3 days...but oh yes...they did! On the last day though they started lecturing so that took up half a day...

Good Luck!
