As in the past, all students and instructors who participate in clinicals at Cape Fear Valley must complete an orientation to the facility. In an effort to make that process consistent between schools we have developed a web-based student orientation.
Students and instructors who are preparing for clinicals or internships can access the site by visiting www.capefearvalley.com , and click on Orientation at the bottom of the page. The site is password protected; the password is ‘1638owen’. The orientation consists of 2 modules-Abbreviated Hospital Orientation and Corporate Compliance. After viewing each individual module and successfully completing a posttest, a certificate can be printed. The two certificates will be submitted to the clinical instructor. The school is responsible for maintaining the hard copy certificates.
Within the website, there is a document that can be downloaded for the instructor to list the names of the individuals that have successfully completed the orientation. Please complete the form in it’s entirety. We must have all the information requested on the form. The instructor’s signature at the bottom will validate that each student, and the instructor, has completed the orientation requirements. The instructor will bring this document to Human Resources at 1320 Medical Drive wherein the student badges will be given for clinicals. Student to instructor ratio is 10:1 at most. One person may pick up the badges, but forms must be completed with separate instructor names for each 10 students. The student handbook is no longer necessary. If you have nursing students that will be using the computer system for charting or giving medication, please contact Annette Deahl at adeahl@capefearvalley.com or 910-609-4443 to schedule the necessary training.
Professional students whose instructors do not actually attend their internship or clinical experience with them must bring their orientation completion certificates to their internal contact person here at Cape Fear Valley Health System. The internal contact person will then escort them to Human Resources to obtain their student badge.
We appreciate the opportunity to provide a clinical experience for healthcare students. We hope that this web-based orientation will make the process simpler for students and instructors.
