Hi all,
I have a dilemma. I have about 2hr 30 min. to teach/train employees about POCT every orientation. This group usually includes about 15-25 employees and I have to train/teach about Specimen Labeling/Collecting/Transporting (all specimens not just POCT), Accu-Chek testing, i-STAT testing, and Fecal\Gastric\Preg testing. Luckily, the bigger group usually ends with about 6/10 needing to learn about more than Accu-Chek (other tests) which is a big help. We have a learning modules that employees are asked to complete beforehand but issues with the computers tends to happen a lot with new employees not being in the system or just app issues, that this does not always occur. I feel like I usually am rushing to teach so many employees about these different test devices that I may not be doing a huge service as this is a lot of information to cover, in addition to seeing if they can adequately perform the test). Do you all have any tips to speed up the training process or maybe things to really focus on?
Does this seem like an adequate amount of time? I think I may just be overwhelmed!

At my other institution, the nursing educators and point of care techs divide up the responsibilities. Definitely upper management needs to coordinate and delegate the various components for training. I think the new staff lose some things when rushed.
