UC Irvine Medical Center hires new licensed nursing assistants (NA). ALL new hired NA will attend a general hospital orientation which includes rules and regulations, employee benefits, resources, and computer class. After this Central hospital orientation the NA will be scheduled to attend 6 hour class where a review of the necessary skills and the standards of clinical practice are provided by the educators/CNS. All new NAs clinical staff will complete a Clinical Orientation which may vary by unit and or division. During the clinical orientation time you will be assigned a preceptor to follow who may be a senior clinical nurse assistant or another clinician.
