Abstract

It is ironic that although a major portion of a hospital-based educator's time is devoted to planning and teaching new staff members, there is often little or no formalized plan for orienting new educators. Nurse educators developed an orientation program to address this situation. The orientation program was developed, implemented, and evaluated using a model of competency-based education, the institution's performance evaluation, and the perceived expectations of the educators.
