Orientation

Nurses undergo a comprehensive orientation period to introduce them to Connecticut Children’s and to provide them with the information and support they need to succeed. This orientation period begins with participant centered classes for all new clinical hires, and includes computer-based learning courses, cutting-edge simulation experiences and highly specialized unit-based orientation.

Programs vary in duration, intensity, material covered and next steps, depending on the department the new nurse will be joining. In general, orientation includes a full-day hospital orientation, department-specific training, and then a validation period during which new staff members demonstrate clinical competencies by providing supervised care. Upon demonstration of clinical competencies, new nurses gradually become more independent and start to take on a clinical caseload in a supportive team environment.

Professional Practice Model

A Professional Practice Model (PPM) depicts how nurses practice, collaborate, communicate and develop professionally to provide the highest quality care for our patients, families and community.

Connecticut Children’s nurses chose a kite to illustrate the alignment and integration of the nursing practice with its mission, vision and values. A kite is designed to maneuver through gusts of wind, similar to the flexible but tenacious role of nursing which requires delivering compassionate care in today’s tumultuous health care environment.
