My orientation was 2 weeks in the classroom, 2 weeks on the floor; all paid. If you feel you are not prepared after yours, speak up and let them know. My hospital makes exceptions for people. The last thing anyone wants is a patient or employee getting hurt due to lack of training. Good luck! :)
So I just finished my CNA course and clinicals and got a job working 2pm-10pm shift at the facility where I did clinicals. I start my orientation tomorrow and its only 4 days. Is that normal? And I don't believe I will be getting paid during this time either. How long was your orientation and did you get paid during it or not? Also any tips for getting organized and staying on schedule?[/quote']I would be very hesitant about any hourly paid job that was not willing to pay you for your time during orientation.
