Nurse Residency Program
The Nurse Residency Program at Munson Healthcare helps new nurses successfully transition from nursing school to nursing practice. This is especially important during and after the COVID-19 pandemic, when experience in the hospital for student nurses was shortened or not available. Residents will develop both personal and professional networks to help them become part of their new community!
The Munson Healthcare Nurse Residency Program is a paid, year-long, extensive clinical orientation and professional development curriculum for new ADN and BSN graduates. Through our partnership with Vizient, our nursing residencies are evidence-based programs recognized by the American Association of Colleges of Nursing (AACN) that include evidence-based education, simulation, seminars and community outings. The focus is on providing professional support, strengthening practice skills, building confidence, improving performance and encouraging team building, all within a supportive, nurturing atmosphere.
