Rationale for Two Weeks of Security Training

New employees complete two weeks of training in the Security Department to ensure they gain sufficient hands-on experience with patient admissions. During the day shift, we average 5-10 patient admissions per day, providing trainees with frequent opportunities to learn and practice the admission process. In contrast, the night shift may only see 5-10 admissions over an entire week, and on the three nights a trainee works, there may be no admissions at all. Scheduling two weeks of daytime security training helps ensure new employees receive adequate exposure and develop the knowledge and confidence needed to perform the job independently.
