Abstract Trauma programs across the United States improve injured patients' care and patient outcomes while improving hospital patient care. Hiring trauma program managers (TPMs) without a formal, comprehensive orientation increases stress and decreases job satisfaction. The increased pressure and reduced job satisfaction often play a role in the TPM deciding to leave the job. Developing a robust, effective trauma program with process improvement takes time; thus, the TPM must stay in the position for a significant period. Many newly hired TMPs also struggle with changing roles from competent, successful floor nurses to managing a complex hospital-wide trauma program. TPMs are not given formal training in management, leadership, or other essential skills like budgeting and communication, which are needed to be successful leaders. A complete, comprehensive orientation will increase job satisfaction and decrease TPM stress, allowing and supporting the creation of a robust and successful trauma program. Hospitals, communities, and patients will benefit from successful trauma programs as they improve patient care for the entire hospital and elevate the care of the community. Creating an orientation manual for the newly hired TPMs will result in the retention of the managers, improved trauma programs, and improved patient care and outcomes.
