Hi Everyone, I will be teaching a CNA program thru my local adult ed in the Fall. Currently they have been using, Hegner's Nursing Assistant: A Nursing Approach 10th edition (2007). The director will allow the purchase of new textbooks. Does anyone have any advice they would offer me? I have been on Amazon and have read the reviews on both Lippincott and Mosby's, but I don't feel the reviews have been all that helpful to me. Thank you for any/all help. -Jenny

Our orientees have a day with HR. Three days with me to go thru hospital policy and procedure, hospital competencies for the year, and TJC and CMS. They have two days in MANDT training, and finally on Friday afternoon I am able to escort them to the units to visualize the units and for introductions. My department has been under Nursing Administration. We have had a new Chief Operating Officer hired within the past two weeks, and Staff Education has been moved under him. He has plans to restructure our orientation process using the Annapolis Coalition goals.

Hi! I am new to staff development. I have a staff base of approx. 230 employees. After my first week of watching the orientation process I felt overwhelmed by the amount of paper given during orientation. Our hospital uses 'learning packets' for JCAHO/CMS requirements. Is there anyone here who is familiar with the process of learning packets? Thank you!

I recently completed Walden University, RN to MSN, education track. I would recommend Walden.
