Orientation/Mentor Program
Orientation/Mentor Program
Orientation is a critical process to success in your nursing career. Whether you are a new or experienced rehabilitation or neuroscience nurse, we offer a specialized orientation program designed to introduce you to our system of care.
At Craig Hospital we offer an individualized orientation program averaging 4 weeks for rehab techs and unit secretaries; 4-8 weeks for experienced RN's and an extensive new graduate RN orientation. Orientation consists of interactive, interdisciplinary classroom sessions, computer based learning and clinical orientation on the clinical units with a preceptor. The new graduate orientation program consists of 12 weeks of classroom on precepted experiences followed by an eight hour education day once a month for a full year.
Craig Hospital offers a Mentor Program for all new staff. An experienced staff member is paired with the new staff member to provide mentorship to assist with assimilation into the new work environment. Not only are mentors available to answer work related and technical questions, but more importantly to provide introduction into the culture at Craig Hospital and to offer emotional support and guidance.
