Orientation | Nursing
A SH-SS Nursing Orientation Checklist has been developed and is ready for use, to help guide newly hired nurses on their units during their orientation. The Nursing Orientation Checklist is very generalized and can be used for staff who work in either Acute or LTC. Please note that if a policy or procedure is missing from this checklist, it may be covered in Regional Orientation,
Facility Orientation, or Regional Clinical Orientation (see attached for a summary of what is included in each). A couple of steps for managers before using the checklist:
- Please add any site and unit specific information that is not listed (e.g.: physiologic monitors in ED/SCU settings, Fetal health monitors in obstetrical settings, etc.). If you have an existing checklist, the information can be transferred to this new form. It can be as general or specific as needed to give nurses a comprehensive orientation to their new unit and work area.
- At the bottom of the checklist, any position specific courses can be added that have not been included on the welcome letter that the nurse may require
- If there is anything that does not apply to your work site, please “black out” the row or type “N/A”. For example: acute care site might want to black out the LTC section as below. If there is something specific that needs to be highlighted about a specific topic, please add that into the comments:
Employee Initial | Topic | Date | Comments | N/A |
---|---|---|---|---|
Location of forms: – Standard orders, care maps, BPMH, consents, waivers, frequent monitoring record, IPNs, chart forms, triage package etc. | ||||
Kardex | Note there are 4 Kardex’s for this unit | |||
Care Plans (acute) | ||||
Integrated Care Plan (LTC) |
To enhance the checklist, there are links built in for staff to access. Please update these as needed.
New Hire packages for new nursing staff should include a folder with these required documents:

- VPP – either over Teams (can register on the HPS) or on the LMS
- Regional Clinical Orientation
- Infographic for Regional Orientation

Explain that the checklists need to be completed and handed in.
This Nursing Orientation Checklist should be completed on shift with a buddy nurse as part of their orientation and submitted to the manager within 14 days of hire. Managers, please review any areas the employee has not completed or needs further assistance with and reach out to the appropriate designate to assist the nurse with completion. Please sign the designated area of the form and the form can then be added to the Employee File.
