Typical Orientation for Newly Hired Nurse


Hello Everyone,
I am hoping to transition into hospital peds nursing from volunteering overseas as a nurse for disabled children. I was wondering what a typical orientation would be like for a RN newly hired to peds floor. I began volunteering immediately following graduation from nursing school in May 08 so I do not have any prior experiences and I was wondering if the orientation for an "experience RN position" would be sufficient for me. My other option would be to apply for grad nurse internships, but I am not sure I would be considered because I graduated over an year ago. Thanks for any advice offered!

Apply for the grad nurse position - They are not only for new grads but also for nurses who want to change specialties.
