title: RN orientation: cost and achievement analysis.
abstract: A cost analysis for orienting registered nurses in a traditional manner was initiated prior to a performance-based system. A 15-month study in a 772-bed midwestern hospital tracked the cost of all human and material resources used and determined a level of achievement for each individual in the sample.
