Episode Twelve: Orientation Strategies Part 2
Episode description
y strategy for orientation of a new nurse.
In this episode I explain how I feel like I learned the most. My biggest take away from the week was that I need to create a more robust training program for new visits. I’m great at having all my visits organized and planned out. I need to put together a more detailed plan for the week for introducing new staff to hospice, hospice philosophy and hospice guidelines as required by medicare.
When I finish creating this program, I will share it with my listeners/readers and make it available in my ”tool download” section of the website.
Here are my main points from today’s show.
- 4 visits per day is perfect when orienting new nurses to hospice
- Every day should end with all work complete and nothing left for the next day
- The more questions we ask our patients/caregivers the more likely they are to discover the answers on their own.
- Not everyone learns the way I learn. I need to adjust some of my trainings to be sure to incorporate multiple styles of learning.
- Hospice is a heart job
As promised, you can find an updated menu at http://confessionsofahospicenurse.net that will take you to available downloads from my sight. Be sure to watch this menu over the next week as I will be adding a Hospice Test to the menu for download to use when helping new hospice staff learn the regulations.
