Hospital orientation for CNA/Support staff

[NurseyPoo7]

I am trying to create a unit based orientation manual/binder for new hires. I've included information on how to call out sick if needed, how you change a scheduled day with another employee, chain of command, how to put on telemetry/tele protocols, prevention of bed sores, etc.

I'm just looking for more information to include in this, and am open to help from you all on what in include.

Does anyone have an orientation manual or any type of material they give to new hire CNAs, techs, etc.? If anyone has material like this that new hires get, I'd love to see it.

I just have an idea. It seems you are doing well but I have a suggestion.

How about pairing CNA's with specific nurses based on rapport, etc. I think this will increase patient satisfaction by the care mini teams can give.

I don't have any literature to share with you but you can message me, I would be happy to point you in the right direction for resources to put in your book!

Unfortunately, there will be the CNAs and the nurses that no one ever wants to work with. So as nice as that sounds, I don't think it's totally feasible...

Currently, the CNAs and nurses are not able to be paired together in mini teams as youve suggested. We are supposed to go through something like this in the future but it has not been able to get off the ground yet because of lack of staff. But thanks for the suggestion.
