Epic training

Published

I'm just wondering, if the nurses that use Epic, how much training did you receive? I work in an OR & we received about 7 hours, is that the norm?

Epic's training is very standardized and regimented. What you received sounds about right.

I got 4 hours at my current job and oh dear Lord was it dreadful.

Agree my training took about 4 hours as well.

Four hours, for me. It was an introduction and more than enough to get started. I prefer to fool around and figure things out on my own beyond that.

We had about 24 total but we were one of the beta groups before it first rolled out nationally. 24 hours was absolutely overkill. All you really need is a few hours to learn how to navigate the system and then you can figure it out from there.

There should be a playground for Epic too. It's helpful if there is certain areas where you feel like you need a bit more practice.
