Orientation Revamp: February 3rd Go-Live
As a part of the Nursing Strategic Plan, Nursing Professional Development Services was tasked with revamping nursing orientation. Through a collaborative effort, solutions were identified for some of the complexities of hosting a large event with many different roles and specialties. We are in a continuous quality improvement effort and will keep our stakeholders informed as changes are planned.
Please reach out to Deanna Pototschnik: DP2DK@uvahealth.org with any questions.
