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 6-month program combines practical and applied clinical experiences with comprehensive didactic learning. This support is in addition to the traditional unit/department orientation. At Kaweah Health we want our new nurses to flourish! Participants will gain many new experiences, skills, and resources to help them grow as a professional.
