What are your concerns?

I think my biggest concern is the extremely short orientation time.  How long does it usually take to get in the swing of things?  This will be a whole new charting system, etc.  When do you start feeling comfortable?  

I personally don't feel efficient until my third month. But I'm quite functional after a couple of weeks. Mind you, the operating room takes a lot longer than most specialties. 

Most orientations cover EMR for better part of two days, then you will shadow a nurse for a day or two who will help shortcut your charting. Largely you don't need to stress out the first week at all. I say that, but I know it is hard to do. Even though I know well that most first day orientations are pure fluff, I don't sleep well the night before.
