Duties and Responsibilities of this Level

The orientation program for nursing and patient care services has expanded, and the operational workload required to onboard new hires successfully has increased in both volume and complexity. CNEs currently handling this work are unable to provide hands on education to new hires due to the administrative task burden.

Key drivers for reclassification include:

• Late add-ons over the weekend — new hires added on Saturday/Sunday must be processed and prepared before Monday orientation start.


• Monitor & respond to the NPCS email address – to facilitate a smooth onboarding process, the program coordinator will monitor

• Module assignment — required learning modules must be assigned to each new hire prior to start.


• Completion tracking — ongoing monitoring of module completion across the orientation cohort.


• Clearance review — verifying that new hires have completed required clearances before unit placement.
