SNF Contract Nursing Staff — Same-Shift Orientation
SNF Contract Nursing Staff — Same-Shift Orientation
A same-shift orientation checklist for agency and contract nursing staff joining a Skilled Nursing Facility (SNF). Covers the four SHRM Cs: Compliance (HIPAA, infection control, OSHA 1910.132 PPE, elopement/fire procedures), Clarification (unit layout, assignment handoff, documentation system access), Culture (facility norms, chain of command, resident-centered care philosophy), and Connection (charge nurse introduction, buddy pairing, break/meal logistics). Designed to be completed within the first 4 hours of a shift so agency staff can function safely and independently before patient care begins.
