Nurse Residency Program

The Providence Health Nurse Residency program offers new graduates an exceptional opportunity to gain educational and clinical training in many inpatient care areas including Medical/Surgical, Telemetry, and Critical Care. This intensive program enables new graduates to learn through hands-on experience and then transition to staff roles within the nursing departments at Providence Health. Program duration varies from 3 to 6 months depending on the demands of the specific clinical setting. 

Upcoming program start dates: July 2020 and February 2021

During this 12-week program, new graduates work 40 hours/week.  This includes 4-hour weekly training sessions designed to place residents in other departments that work closely with their home unit providing a better understanding of the multidisciplinary collaboration of quality patient care.

Our aim is to:
