Tell us about the unit/department specific training and orientation program. Typically, candidates spend one day with Clinical Education, 1 - 12-hour shift orienting on the unit and then the third day on their own. All of this is very dependent on previous EPIC knowledge. If no EPIC, then orientation is longer.
