How long does it take to get Oriented on your New Psyche Nurse Job - Page 2

I was an experienced med surg nurse with 10 years of teaching experience, much of it special ed. The standard orientation at my facility is 6 months for a new grad, 3 months for a non psych nurse, 3 weeks for a psych nurse new to the hospital, and 1 week if you're just switching units.

I was out of orientation in 6 weeks - but that's where my preceptors and I felt comfortable.
