Monday morning was my "first day." I arrived a few minutes early to my first appointment, completed the required items, and off to my second appointment. Completed the required items and was now well over an hour early to my third and final appointment for the day... So I had lunch. Even after lunch, I was an hour ahead of the schedule!
Tuesday was a full 11 hours of orientation. Does anyone remember why, way back in Elementary School, class periods were only 50 minutes long? School lasted only 7.5 hours... and there were at least a couple of "recesses" throughout the day and a lunch period!? In today's age, it is called, "Information Overload."
Wednesday, was a short day for me... only 7 hours. Then a turn around! I needed to get back onto a night schedule for Thursday.
Thursday night was my last "orientation" shift. I am officially, "on-board" again. This Sunday is my first "working" shift.
Throughout my career, I have experienced a few "orientations." It is interesting to reflect and compare how different hospitals and systems conduct there orientation. I also reflect on how I handled orientations when I was a Clinical Educator at a facility, compare and contrast how things have changed, evolved, and sometimes, haven't changed one bit!
So I begin another adventure!
