The human resources (HR) department has begun the process of orientation for a group of new nurses
After the HR department provides information about salaries, pay scale, holidays, and so on, the next most likely step in the orientation process, which is carried out by the nurse manager, is:
a. Induction
b. Orientation to the institution
c. Orientation to the nursing services
d. Orientation to the specific job

The nurse manager introduces the nurses to their new jobs, agency policies, facilities, and co-workers. Orientation to the institution comes first and typically includes a tour of the facilities; a description of the organizational structure; a discussion of different departmental functions; a presentation of the organization's philosophy, goals, and standards; an interpretation of administrative policies and procedures; and possibly an explanation of the relationship of the organization with the community.
