The Nurse Residency Program at Catholic Health is a comprehensive program that teaches and mentors new nurses in the transition from student to professional nurse during the first year of practice. This is an opportunity for our nurses to work in areas that they have an interest in, while getting the support and guidance needed to be successful in that role.
Throughout the program, residents will enhance their critical thinking and evidence based decision making skills, develop clinical leadership skills, build self-confidence, and learn how to provide safe and comprehensive patient care.
We offer a comprehensive package of support and opportunities, including:
** If state and organizational requirements for pre-licensure graduate nursing practice are met, learners who are waiting for their first NCLEX may participate in the program unlicensed for up to 90 days.
