More Description

We all know how important onboarding can be in lowering turnover rates and ensuring a new nurse's success. Staff Educator's Guide to Clinical Orientation helps readers learn how to create and sustain a high-quality orientation and onboarding program that meets the needs of the nurses, organization, and patients. Whether new to leading orientation efforts or a seasoned nursing staff development specialist, this book will help nurses:? Understand and use the ADDIE model? Analyze, design, and implement an orientation program? Evaluate an individual's competency? Stay organized and navigate regulatory considerations? Conduct surveys and focus groups? Manage orientee errors and personality conflictsWhile much of the structure of the third edition will remain the same to the previous edition, the authors plan to update each and every chapter in regard to references, sidebars, examples, etc. Specific attention will be given to regulatory considerations and additional resources (appendix) to ensure the most up-to-date material. The authors plan to create a new chapter section focused on temporary employees (travelers and float staff) and students. There will also be an added focus on generational differences with onboarding. The book will include a new feature of vignettes/exemplars that focus on orientee and preceptor-facing concerns (real-life clinical vignettes related to recommendations made in the text, tips for educators to share with preceptors, and finding personal balance in the hectic world of orientation). This new content will specifically help new staff educators and managers "lead" preceptors. Additionally, the authors plan to include behavioral health examples/sidebars throughout the text.
