RN training/orientation -phoenix

I'm not in Arizona but in my area, it varies by hospital. The hospital I work at has orientation twice a month. It starts at the beginning of each new pay period.

Another hospital in my areas does a special orientation for new grad nurses but they only do that three times a year. I had a friend graduate in May and didn't start work until the middle of July because of it.

Are you currently working? Working out a nice will factor into your start date as well.

thanks @springchick1 ðŸ˜Š... no, I'm not currently working... I passed my nclex last april and moved to arizona. I just got a telephone interview last week. If they tell you that you're hired, do they let you start immediately?

I guess it depends on which department you are hired in. I started last year as a new grad at Banner. They'll do a group orientation, and then do a department specific orientation. I am on a med/surg unit, so we had med/surg academy(think lab days and scenarios), as well as in class lectures. Then you will work as a preceptee for about 5-6 weeks and then move out on your own.

What facility, department, shift did you get hired on at?

No, I'm not hired yet. I applied at banner gateway but not as a new grad...how long did you knew you were hired after you had an interview before?
