The CCF is a four-phased orientation that utilizes the strategies of block learning with a multi-system approach, an electronic daily orientation tracker for more efficient preceptor communication and creative knowledge verification methods for orientation progression.

The 14-week program is aligned to successfully support External and Internal RN Pathway RNs with no previous critical care experience to become competent critical care nurses.
