MY 1st ORIENTATION!!1

im so happy. my 1st orientation as an RN was today!!!!! and at the same time i was toured around the facility. does that mean im already an employee? the said id be on the floor after my 2nd orientation. could sum1 tell me more about it. im scared, happy,MIXED EMOTIONS here whew! does it mean i get the job? i dont even know if that orientation(8hours) was paid. was it?

Not sure of your situation, but my first week of four days of orientation was in a class room no where close to my unit and half of my 5th day was spent touring the facility and my assigned unit and during that first week I was considered an employee (as reflected by my pay check).

If they consider today an orientation for you, i would think you are officially an employee

Hope that helps

Congrats also!!!

have you succeafully done pre employment physical exam and drug testing?if you have, and they are telling you that you will be starting tje next day,then you are already hired. at least that is what i think. but usually the first week of employment is a classroom orientation going over the faciliy,policies,etc. but others might have different procedures.
