Mood:  | Re: New Grads I think it's OK, as long as there is an adequate orientation period- I think a MINUMUM of 6 months would be good for a new grad in critical care... |

 | Re: New Grads I also think it's ok. Many hospitals don't offer 6 months of orientation, though. It also depends on how many new grads are already on the unit. |

| Re: New Grads I think new grads in critical care is a good idea if that's what you want to do. However, right now in our ICU, we've had a surge of new grads. I think new grads in the ICU should be in moderation. You need to make sure that you have a adequate supply of experienced resources. An ICU staffed with mostly new grads is very scary, for the new grad and the short supply of experienced nurses. |
