ASPAN orientation program, new preceptor

Wondering if anyone uses the ASPAN orientation program for training new PACU nurses?  We don't really have a very structured orientation program for new hires. We will be filling 2 positions soon & it seems that I will be assigned as one of the preceptors. I've worked in PACU now for 7 yrs & have been with orientees for random days here & there when the preceptor was off for the day, but have never been the primary trainer. It makes me nervous! I want to be sure I do a good job ?. I feel like I can be a bit of a rambler & worried I may seem disorganized, so I'm trying to think thru a game plan so to speak.  Orientation is 12 weeks typically.

Any suggestions, resources...prayers?

    In the past when I oriented to PACU it was just jumping into bedside care with a preceptor and also given online access to AACN's ECCO critical care modules to do on my own time. That was it.
