How long was/is your orientation?

I am wondering how long orientation was/is for most people. I am a new grad in ER and its 3 months long, not including the volumes of classes they are sending me to. Does this sound about right?

    Wow 6 months at some places, thats crazy!

    Im in a neuro ICU on week 9 of 12 & they say I'm doing well & they think I'm ready to come off orientation, but the general consensus from the more experienced nurses is to take all 12 even if I'm "safe" at this point, just to have more time to learn the disease processes, treatments, etc. :)

    Plus I had about 120 of online critical care learning to do.

    18-20 Weeks - General Floors

    20-22 Weeks - Intermediate Units

    26 Weeks - ICU

    The first 16 weeks are full of classes that are about 8hrs a week. Plus clinical rotations throughout the hospital with the Code team, respiratory, etc.

    Solid Program I think!
