Chestelm Health & Rehabilitation Center requires orientation before a clinician works a shift there. It belongs to that building rather than to a group, and completion sits on your Nursa profile with your other nursing credentials.
What does a single-facility orientation cover?
More building detail than a group orientation manages. When one facility writes its own, the content can name the units, the codes called overhead, the charting system in use, and the escalation path on a night shift. Expect the usual policy ground on resident rights, reporting duties, infection control, and emergency procedures, with specifics attached rather than left general.
Is orientation paid time?
Usually not, and it is worth planning around. As an independent contractor you complete credentialing on your own time, which is different from an employee whose onboarding happens on the clock. If a facility runs a paid on-site session, that would appear in the shift details rather than in the credential requirement. Treat the training as preparation you do before the work starts.
Does it stay complete if you come back months later?
Generally yes. Orientation records do not lapse on a schedule, so a gap between shifts at Chestelm does not usually mean starting over. What can change is the content, since a facility that revises its orientation may ask returning clinicians to complete the newer version. Check the credential list before a first shift back rather than assuming.
Complete your orientation
Because this training belongs to Chestelm, it reflects how that building runs and does not transfer to another facility, even one down the road under the same kind of license.
Find the Chestelm orientation in ShiftReady and work through every module, then record it:
- Tap Menu in the top left of the Nursa app.
- Select Profile.
- Scroll to the Credentials section.
- Tap Add your Credential.
- Upload your document as a PDF, WORD, JPG, or PNG.
Sign up as a clinician and clear Chestelm's orientation before the shifts you want come up.
