Browser-based tools you can use right now. No signup, no email wall, nothing to install. Built from real NPD practice to make the hard planning conversations more defensible.
How many orientees can one NPD practitioner reasonably carry at once? Set five workload factors and get a defensible planning span with an FTE justification you can copy into a staffing proposal. Adjusts its orientation anchors to your setting: periop, ICU, med-surg, ED, ambulatory, or PACU.
Open the calculatorA 25-statement self-assessment across five sections of your orientation program. Answer one prompt at a time and get an instant score, a diagnostic band, and your three weakest areas mapped to specific next steps.
Open the health checkScore a newly hired experienced nurse on each department competency by the supervision they still need, then get an individualized remediation pathway the moment every item is complete. Edit the competency list to fit any unit.
Open the rubricMap each competency to a validation method, a validator, and a timeline across orientation, then generate a clean plan you can share with preceptors and leadership. Works for any department.
Open the plannerTurn a class, program, or conference into a business case leadership can act on. Enter what it costs to run and the tool returns total investment, cost per nurse, cost per contact hour, projected return, and the break-even point in RN departures prevented. Comes with a printable request form for the fourteen finance figures the model depends on.
Open the calculatorIf you're sizing NPD span, orientation, or competency validation across several departments, facility engagements start with a short conversation. No obligation.
