From day one, we are dedicated to supporting the careers of our nurses – especially our newest nurses. To help bridge the gap between classroom and career, we created the New Graduate Nursing Residency Program.

Open to graduating nursing students of accredited institutions, this 12-month program allows residents to have supplemental learning, interactive chats and increased support to ease the transition into nursing practice. The residency includes:

• Three 12-hour shifts per week on the unit the nurse is hired to
• Three experience days to observe other units
• Frequent communication and support from administration and educators
• One-on-one meetings with our program director
• Live journal club
• Educational modules
• Peer support for professional growth and promoting self-care
• Bimonthly case studies to promote critical thinking

Surrounded by fellow new graduates in an environment that promotes collaboration, growth and development, you’ll make a smooth transition from student to registered nurse. You’ll also gain valuable clinical experience while being supported at every step.
