New Graduate RN Residency Program
Our New Graduate RN Residency Program provides a valuable opportunity for nursing graduates to transition from academics to practice by applying the concepts, care methods and care coordination principles they learn in the classroom to direct patient care. It includes both hands-on and classroom-based learning content on clinical and professional topics, and specifically on pediatric nursing.
Advanced Practice Provider Practicums
For graduate students pursuing a career in advanced practice — such as a nurse practitioner or physician assistant, a clinical practicum provides a high-quality, real world experience to help meet required educational goals and prepare for the professional role.
