lpn orientation

I started this new job at a SNF unit .

How long was your orientation at work?

To the above poster, I disagree..orientation is not *just* to show you the routine and paperwork. For new grads its to guide you through the world of nursing until you grasp what the job entails and become confident putting your skills to practice.

No that's what the six week final preceptorship is for.

One week, give or take. I started at a facility that was understaffed and in desperate need of help. Basically once I was comfortable with the clients and the basics of the job, I was allowed to work on my own. That said, my co-workers were amazing at helping me. I would say it was a month or so before I was 100% comfortable doing things on my own.
