Product Description:
Navigate your way through the orientation process!
Does thinking about nursing orientation give you a headache? Staff development specialists are often pressed to provide orientation more often, more efficiently, more quickly, and more effectively.
A thorough and efficient orientation is critical to staff retention. Poorly oriented staff struggle to do their jobs. Eventually, they leave—wasting your time and resources.
When it comes to nursing orientation, one size never fits all
As any staff development specialist knows, you need a streamlined, efficient, adaptable orientation program. Each nurse has a unique learning style and competency level, so creating a program that is flexible enough to meet all of their varied needs just isn’t that simple.
Now you have help! In her new book, Designing Nursing Orientation: Evidence-Based Strategies for Effective Programs, staff development expert Adrianne E. Avillion, D.Ed., RN, provides the program-building resources you’ll need. These include:
- practical tips
- tools to calculate effectiveness
- handouts
- checklists
- sample evaluations
Designing Nursing Orientation gives you all the tools needed to design an evidence-based orientation program. In fact, you’ll get everything you need to streamline the orientation process and make it work successfully for your organization.
Design a program that’s right for you and your facility
Whether you’re looking to create a brand-new program or revamp an existing one, Designing Nursing Orientation will help staff educators to design the most effective program for any institution.

Designing Nursing Orientation comes with a CD-ROM full of ready-to-use tools and checklists to guide you through the design and implementation of a cost-efficient program that will meet all your needs. With these tools at your finger tips, you’ll begin applying the concepts in the book immediately.
Evaluation: A critical piece in the orientation puzzle
