Nursing Education at The Ottawa Hospital (TOH) promotes and facilitates a culture of life-long learning in the pursuit of excellence in professional nursing practice.
The culture of life-long learning is promoted through a commitment to the following education initiatives.
Orientation
- Upon hire, new employees attend a one-day Human Resources global introduction to TOH.
- Orientation continues with a core six-day introduction of senior staff, professional practice support, and common corporate clinical programs, after which the nurse receives unit-specific clinical instruction based on identified competencies.
- Each unit has an assigned nurse educator responsible for unit orientation and continuous learning opportunities.
