Sandra RN Posted August 27 Share Posted August 27 Hi Everyone! Sandra here, new to the Nursa community. Great to be here! I do have a few questions though… Are nurses oriented to the facility the first day so we know where everything is? Are we allowed to go ahead of time and get familiar with the layout of the building, med room, and other things we need to know before we start. I just feel a lot of time is wasted just trying to figure out things at the beginning of shift and take away from patient care if we don’t know where things are or how their charting system works, etc… I would appreciate any help with answering these questions. Thank you! 😊 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krishna Floisand Posted August 27 Share Posted August 27 Welcome welcome!! 🤗 This is a great question @Sandra RN! We encourage you to go early to get oriented and ask questions. While each facility is different you can also call ahead for more clarification on these details. We definitely want you to feel prepared to provide your best patient care. @Kate Olsen @Montana Hiltbrand do you guys have any more useful tips here? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandra RN Posted August 27 Author Share Posted August 27 Thank you Krishna for replying to my post and answering my questions! Do we get a badge from Nursa? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kate Olsen Posted August 29 Share Posted August 29 Nursa does not provide badges. We encourage you to upload a profile photo to your Nursa account and add in your drivers license! Also, you have the ability to contact the facilities from the job card and ask all the questions you need in order to feel prepared. I hope this helps 🙂 We are so happy that you are here! If you have other questions on getting started, please schedule a call with a clinician success specialist here: https://calendly.com/gtm-3/onboarding-call Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nueva Koehler Posted Friday at 11:07 PM Share Posted Friday at 11:07 PM I usually call the facility a couple of days before my shift and introduce myself. It’s a good time to inquire about login credentials the facilities policy for charting. I find it useful so when I show up for my shift I don’t necessarily have to hold anyone up and I like to get started immediately. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krishna Floisand Posted Saturday at 01:23 PM Share Posted Saturday at 01:23 PM That is great practice @Nueva Koehler! Facilities are definitely the best at answering any questions you have about that specific facility since they can vary a lot! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
