Is this enough training for experienced nurse?

Published

Two weeks of floor training for a nurse with two years of med surg experience. This will be for a med surg floor. I’ve been told it’s busier on this floor but the patient ratio is lower than I’m used to which is good I guess.

They said it would be one patient first day, then second two patients, 3rd day 3 patients, and the final days with 4 patients.

i also know their computer system as I currently use it now.

that's definitely enough, if you feel unprepared ask for more time

I worked at SNF and was hired to work in Med- surg Tele, I only had 3 days of orienting to the floor and shadowing and then the next week that came I am already by myself. I had to make my eyes and brain open and read read read and ask ask ask.

I am working here for more than 5 months now and I am enjoying it. I love the MS ❤️
