Could you please elaborate?

Is this for RN orientation? APRN orientation

Are you a CNS who is looking at how other institutions do orientation?

Would moving to staff development be more appropriate. Just let us know.

I am looking for how other hospitals do staff nurse orientations- new grads vs experienced nurse. yes, probably would be better suited for staff/ professional development. But I am. CNS and I am utilized heavily in the onboarding & orienting of new nurses, and the vast majority are new grads. Thanks.

No problem. Glad to help and welcome to AN. I'll move to staff development for more answers.
