Attend New Employee Orientation
To make sure you feel confident in your new role with us, we offer an excellent New Employee Orientation. You’ll learn about our commitment to Patient-Centered Care, policies and procedures, customer service guidelines, confidentiality, HIPPA, safety and more. RNs and LVNs must also attend Clinical Skills Day and Computer Training. In addition, you will have a department-specific orientation. Your supervisor will schedule your orientation.
You will receive your ID Badge on the first day of orientation. This badge will have a green star indicating you are a new employee. By wearing the green star for your first three months, we’ll make sure we take extra special care of you. White Memorial also has a “Buddy Program.” During orientation, you will receive a letter with the name of a Buddy in your department who will be there to welcome you and answer any questions you may have.
We know you’ll want to make a great first impression. Please review Putting Your Best Foot Forward prior to orientation. If you have any questions, please contact your recruiter or Human Resources at 323-268-5000, ext. 5049
