New Graduate Residency Program
The Nurse Residency Program is centered on the support and development of the professional nurse, focusing on the transition from academia to acute care practice. Our 12 month program combines practical and applied clinical experiences with comprehensive didactic learning. This support is in addition to the traditional unit/department orientation.
