A float pool RN is struggling with inadequate orientation and onboarding across multiple units, leading to safety concerns and fear of being set up to fail.
Current orientation process is disjointed: training modules are delivered via dozens of emails, in-person trainings are scheduled across different locations without clear coordination, and unit-level orientation is not communicated to charge nurses. There is no unified platform to track orientation progress, schedule unit shadowing, or ensure nurses get adequate hands-on experience. This leads to inconsistent preparation, burnout, and turnover.
Workarounds Described
- Used 12 different emails from facility to figure out orientation schedule
- Relied on charge nurses to update orientee on patients due to lack of time to look them up
Implied Software Gaps
- Centralized orientation scheduling and communication platform
- Unit-specific patient handoff and update tool for float nurses
