Nurse managers in community health can streamline the orientation of new employees by building planning and evaluation on a list of nursing skills that meet requirements for beginning practice. A model list of skills required in public health nursing and home health care can guide individual agencies in tailoring orientation programs to their respective needs, streamlining the process, reducing overall costs, and producing long‐term benefits for nurse managers and nursing staff.
