OR orientation process.
1. Poor OR orientation may lead to a lack of staff retention. Providing an environment that ensures a successful orientation will result in a productive professional who will be an asset to the staff. 2. It has historically been difficult to identify educational time frames that accurately reflect the needs of perioperative nurses and provide the necessary training. Haphazard learning creates inconsistent results and undue stress for new employees. 3. Learners must be given every opportunity to be successful. An orientation program that uses adult learning principles, preceptors, and a competency skills checklist can help new employees become skillful team members.
