In short

  • Read and sign your job description. Only do tasks that are in it and that you have been trained and checked on.
  • Before you do a care task alone, you show a nurse or therapist that you can do it safely. This is repeated every year.
  • Complete orientation before your first patient visit, and at least 12 hours of in-service training every year.
  • You will get a written performance review at least once a year.
  • If you are not sure how to do a task, stop and call your supervisor.
