Welcome to the Northeast Health Pre-Placement Student Orientation Package. We aim to provide our students with a safe, valuable and enjoyable learning experience.

The purpose of this online orientation package is to provide you with information concerning Northeast Health Wangaratta’s (NHW) policies, procedures and workplace expectations. 

All students commencing placement at NHW are required to complete the Student Orientation Checklist and present it on your first day of placement. By completing this document you are stating that you have read and understood the material. All students commencing placement will have been sent a roster indicating where and when orientation will commence and which area you will be working in, Allied Health students will also receive contact details of a clinical facilitator.

Failure to present the above documents will result in your placement being suspended until you can produce such documentation.

Under the Allied Health and Nursing links you will find information pertaining to work areas and further information on how to plan for your placement.

Nursing students who are expecting to gain experience with medication administration are required to complete the relevant medication calculation quiz and bring it with you on your first day.

If you have attended placement at NHW before you are still required to re read the material and complete and sign the Student Orientation Checklist. The Confidentiality agreement and the Hand hygiene package are only required to be completed once every twelve months. However you still need to bring them with you for each placement, to be cited by your facilitator(s). All other documentation and medication calculations (if applicable) need to be completed each placement.

If you have any queries regarding the online orientation package please contact us.

We look forward to seeing you on placement.
