I work in telemetry. My orientation was good, my mentor had been a nurse for many years and there were times I felt like she forgot or didn't think to explain things that come naturally to her but not to me as a new grad. Also I ended up following 6 different people here and there because of scheduling conflict which made it hard to keep things consistent. From what I've seen most mentors work with you to see what you feel comfortable doing and let you choose how many and which patients to take care of from their assignment. In the end, I had pretty good time management which continues to improve over time. Also, everyone on the floor is super helpful so even after orientation I never felt 'alone'. They encourage you to ask questions and are understanding when you don't feel comfortable doing something. I've been there for a year and still have questions almost every time I work but that's how it is and you never stop learning. I wouldn't stress about it. :)

@agame I think they have a pretty good new grad orientation. It's generally 12 weeks with a mentor, the first week being nothing but classroom type stuff to review policies and skills. I can't speak for every department but I've never heard of someone being let go during orientation. I have known some people to have extra orientation if they needed it.
