“Nursing leaders responsible for orientation are challenged by the plethora of nursing knowledge and clinical skills required by nurses to provide safe care to critically ill patients. The goal is for new and experienced nurses to master the complexities of care and advanced technology and support the well-being of all. One way to achieve this goal is to actively engage new-to-practice nurses and experienced nurses in orientation programs designed to
transfer knowledge and skills needed to provide bedside care”.(Monforto)
