Reorientation/Supplemental Assistance Sample Clauses

Reorientation/Supplemental Assistance. If a nurse floats to a 13 department in which he/she has not worked or been oriented within six months, 14 and the nurse feels he/she is inadequately prepared for the initial assignment, 15 the nurse and manager, or designee, will confer in good faith on a safe 16 alternative to the initial assignment for the nurse in that department. Although the 17 nurse and manager must reach a reasonable mutual agreement on a safe 18 alternative assignment performing registered nurse duties in that department, the 19 nurse shall not be required to assume primary responsibility for patients in that 20 department if he or she in his or her professional self-assessment does not feel 21 competent to assume these responsibilities.
