Description

y strategy for orientation of a new nurse.

In this episode I explain how I feel like I learned the most. My biggest take away from the week was that I need to create a more robust training program for new visits. I’m great at having all my visits organized and planned out. I need to put together a more detailed plan for the week for introducing new staff to hospice, hospice philosophy and hospice guidelines as required by medicare.

When I finish creating this program, I will share it with my listeners/readers and make it available in my ”tool download” section of the website. 

Here are my main points from today’s show.

1. 4 visits per day is perfect when orienting new nurses to hospice
2. Every day should end with all work complete and nothing left for the next day
3. The more questions we ask our patients/caregivers the more likely they are to discover the answers on their own.
4. Not everyone learns the way I learn. I need to adjust some of my trainings to be sure to incorporate multiple styles of learning.
5. Hospice is a heart job

As promised, you can find an updated menu at http://confessionsofahospicenurse.net that will take you to available downloads from my sight. Be sure to watch this menu over the next week as I will be adding a Hospice Test to the menu for download to use when helping new hospice staff learn the regulations.
