Abstract
Newly hired nurses often complete orientation to the acute care setting with multiple preceptors, and communication about orientation progress has the potential to be disjointed. Traditionally, orientation has been tracked using various formats relying on pen and paper. The Daily Orientation Tracker or DOT, created by preceptors and nurse educators, has pushed communication into an accessible, user-friendly format found to be successful for the orientation of new nurses. Information about how the DOT was developed and implemented as well as data describing the empirical success of the DOT are shared.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
