Hi all, I was wondering how much orientation time is reasonable for a new GPN? I just got my permit last week and have received 3 days on 2nd shift this week and will receive 3 days on 3rd shift next week. I passed the whole hall of meds myself on my 3rd night of orientation, but I am really lost as to all of the computer documentation, and I didn't even have the chance to look at the treatment book. I don't feel ready at all. Any advice?

HI everybody, I got my GPN permit a week ago and am working in a nursing home. I will be given 3 days orientation on 2nd shift( which I just fininshed), and 3 days on 3rd shift( which I will do this coming week). I basically helped out the LPN the first night, the second night I did about half the meds and helped out with other things. The third night I passed all the meds myself while the LPN did all the paper work. I only watched a little on how they do the computer charting. I don't feel comfortable at all with taking over myself after this next week. I will be working 2 afternoons and 2 nights. How much orientation is reasonable for a new GPN?
