    I have to create a course outline for a theoretical 6-8 week course. My focus is staff development. Would there be any other course besides a new graduate orientation? Also, if anyone would mind sharing their course outline for a new grad orientation I would appreciate it. Thanks

    staff development is much broader than just orientation. Staff needs to be updated on new procedures, new medications, ethical situations, how to handle difficult people, leadership values, how to precept others--------- I think you need to narrow your focus to something that would be taught to a professional staff that would improve their scope of practice.
  5. My orientation consists of a 3 month internship with several lectures and hands-on skills.
