Where you will start depends on wha hospital and what unit you got hired into and how much experience you have. I was hired into O'Connor hospital oncology /telemetry. The whole program is 40hrs per week and 13 weeks. I did my new employee orientation over Microsoft teams and some in their education locations which are scattered near VMC. After my new employee, orientation which was like a week, I began my new grad orientation in their designated classroom which is a building called the MOB (medical office buildings) there we did about one to one and a half month classroom time going over hospital policy, refresher of skills and bundles specific to the hospital (sepsis bundle, surgery bundled etc) after that for about 2 weeks we "looped" into other units which was basically doing one shift in every unit in the hospital and visiting pharmacy and other facets of the hospital. then we for the rest of the time we went to class AND precepted on the units ON THE SHIFT YOU WERE HIRED INTO. For example I was hired on nights so I was going to class in the day about two days a week and also precepting at night 12 hour shifts. They TRY to take into account your sleep and shifts but it's still tiring. I like their program because instead of starting with one pt and then moving to five they start with five but gradually adding tasks. For example the first day I just shadowed my preceptor. Then the next shift I gave meds to all pts. Then the next shift I gave meds and assessed, then the next I did meds, charted and assessed. I like this style versus the usual practice of adding the whole workload of a patient every week. At the beginning they give you relatively "easy" patients or a "light assignment " then they gradually expose you to things on the unit. Like certain skills, or certain disease processes and acuity. I am now in their critical care program at valley medical center which is similar to their new grad program.

Hi. I can answer specific questions. My training was good! I like their training style it is innovative and much easier for a new grad to acclimate to.

Hi @pearjuice0101 so I’m at OCH on-site interview with unit Managers Requiring two references once job was offered. I’ve had staff nurses, charge and managers at my interviews.

Got it. So everyone with less than a year clinical experience is considered clinical nurse I … the extra help is just the type of job. There’s reg staff nurse, per Diem, and extra help. Just started LOL so IDK the answers to your questions but so far it is a VERY structured training and the educators seem very knowledgeable and there is a whole team of them.

So basically all that @Heaven27 except I’m not sure what “no real pay” means. You will be paid. There’s a coded pay schedule on the county you can look at to see what your pay will be. this position is best for new grads with little to no experience in acute settings. And it depends on the department whether getting a coded position is tricky or not. For example my department it supposed to have MANY extra shifts available so even after my 13 week orientation I am almost guaranteed full time hours. And it’s easier to get a coded position when you have passed their orientation program. ask me any questions Im currently in their extra help new grad orientation
