Hi, I just passed my board a few days ago and I have always been interested in working in ICU. I called a hospital in NY and I was told that they offer 3 weeks in class orientation for new graduate and buddy you up with with a preceptor for 9-12 shifts in ICU. I have always been told in nursing school to make sure to work with employer that has good orientation package for new grad. Honestly I just dont feel comfortable with that kind of package. I just feel that a new graduate will need more that 9-12 shifts preceptorship. You can correct if am wrong. Thanks RN1025
