What is the maximum number of floor training shifts before manager approval is required?

The maximum number of floor training shifts a trainee can complete before requiring manager approval is 5. This guideline is in place to ensure that trainees have adequate support and oversight while they acclimate to their role and responsibilities. By limiting the number of independent shifts a trainee can undertake, the organization aims to maintain quality in performance and patient care, ensuring that trainees are not overwhelmed and have enough opportunity for mentorship and feedback. Once a trainee has completed 5 shifts, manager approval is necessary to confirm readiness and competence before they can continue working independently in a more permanent capacity. This system helps balance the trainee's growth with the essential need for supervision in a clinical environment.
