Abstract
Providing comprehensive orientation programs that prepare nurses for their role as staff nurses is an integral aspect of retention. Therefore, it is vital that staff development educators assess the effectiveness of their nursing orientation programs. In this article, the authors employ a utilization-focused evaluation format to assess a nursing orientation program and, based on the results, offer recommendations for strengthening such programs.Keywords
