The only issue I see with this is the differences across facilities. Facilities have different menu set up, different documentation, and different processes (for example, may be using a paper process (I can't believe I said that) for some documentation and electronic for others.). They may be using Iatrics Visual Flow Sheet, BMV, or other advanced clinicals, eMar, Status Board...the list goes on. It's these differences, though the functionality may be the same, that make every facility unique, thus making it difficult to do a generic orientation and not confuse people more than they already are. I could see this possibly working if the agency had access to a facilities TEST environment for orientation purposes at specified times...
>From a nurse that worked through agencies for 15+ years, it has been my experience that the agency paid for orientation time required by the facility...after all, the agency will recoup that money and more on subsequent staffing assignments. My unsolicited two cents... CC On 6/20/07, Mary Everett <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > I saw some messages going around about agency nurses.
