INDIANAPOLIS—A high-quality onboarding and orientation process is more important than ever before to retain nurses
and ensure a new nurse’s success. The newest title from Sigma Theta Tau International Honor Society of Nursing (Sigma), Staff Educator’s Guide to Clinical Orientation: Onboarding Solutions for Nurses, demonstrates how to create and sustain a high-quality orientation and onboarding program that meets the needs of nurses, patients, and organizations. In this fully revised third edition, authors Robin Jarvis, Amy Word-Allen, and Alvin Jeffery provide the tools to successfully develop a nursing and healthcare workforce.
New and seasoned staff development specialists will be able to find the information they need right away with the book’s helpful chapter overviews, worksheets, and tools, but will also find that a thorough reading is also rewarding. The Staff Educator’s Guide to Clinical Orientation will help readers understand the role of the preceptor in clinical orientation activities; incorporate regulatory and legal issues; understand and use the ADDIE model; analyze, design, and implement an orientation program; evaluate an individual’s competency; conduct surveys and focus groups; and manage orientee errors and personality conflicts.
