“Act as an experienced nursing preceptor. I'm preparing to orient a new nurse (or nursing student) to my unit over the next few shifts. Help me create a detailed orientation checklist that covers: essential unit policies and procedures, key equipment and supply locations, common patient populations and typical care needs, emergency protocols and escalation procedures, documentation systems and shift workflow, and important interpersonal dynamics like how to reach the charge nurse or other departments. Organize the checklist by priority and suggest what to cover on Day 1, Day 2, and Day 3. Make it practical and easy to follow so I don't forget critical topics during a busy shift.”
