]Just wanted to find out what is a typical time frame for new grad orientation at other hospitals. I am in california and I am working in a med/surg unit which I previously worked on under my IPN. When I passed my RN boards this April 2008, got rehired and was on orientation 3 days for day shift, 2 weeks of class orientation, and the 3 nights of orientation. Tonight, I will be on my own. We use team nursing with total of 10 patients (RN gets 5, LVN gets 5, we have a tech). We also do TPC with total of 6 patients, no LVN, sometimes a tech.

]The first time I worked on this floor under my IPN was the same time frame for orientation - 3 days on with a preceptor, 3 nights on, and 2 wks of class orientation.

]I feel that the floor orientation is not enough. Any advise would be helpful. Thanks
