Autumn Lake Healthcare facilities may require the Autumn Lake orientation before approving clinicians to pick up shifts at their location. The group operates buildings in several states, and this record covers how those buildings run rather than the detail of any one of them.
Orientation and an ICA are different records
Autumn Lake locations also keep an independent contractor agreement on file, and the two are unlike each other. An ICA is a document to review and sign, while an orientation is training to work through. A posting may name both, each tracked as its own credential, so completing one does nothing about the other.
What an orientation credential of this type covers
Records like this one generally cover the ground a permanent hire absorbs during onboarding, compressed for someone arriving for a single shift.
- Facility protocols covering how the group's locations run their units.
- Compliance standards that apply to clinicians working on a registry basis.
- Resident care policies specific to the operator.
Because the material is written around one operator's buildings, it belongs to that operator rather than to an outside certifying body, and it does not transfer to another.
Which clinicians a facility may ask
A location may ask for this record from clinical staff scheduled on-site, which can include registered nurses, licensed practical nurses, and certified nursing assistants. A clinician who works more than one Autumn Lake building may find this same record named on each posting, alongside whatever that particular location keeps on file separately.
How to add this credential to your Nursa profile
Group-level orientation records are added the same way as any other credential.
- Navigate to your Profile in the Nursa app.
- Locate Credentials on your profile view.
- Select the "+" button.

Depending on the credential type, this may require uploading proof of the certification, reviewing and signing a document, or completing a facility-required training in ShiftReady. ShiftReady is an online learning management platform that offers clinicians access to a library of third-party training resources.
