About The Position

As a RN Resident at Grady Health System you must be eligible to work in the United States as a Registered Nurse for the entire duration of the RN Residency Program (1) year. If you require sponsorship to obtain, maintain or extend your employment authorization, please note that Grady Health System currently does not offer work sponsorships. If you are unable to fulfill Grady's Residency Agreement (as noted in the agreement) you will still be responsible for any reimbursement required at the time of separation. The Grady Health System Nurse Residency program provides the novice nurse with the knowledge base and skill set needed to transition to competence in clinical nursing practice. While providing the needed skills to meet the organization goals and mission, the program provides nurses with the leadership skills to work collaboratively within a multidisciplinary team. The program bridges the gap between undergraduate education and “real-life” professional nursing practice, delivering state-of-the art care. The Grady RN Residency program is partnered with what was the University Heath Consortium (UHC), and is now Vizient in the design and delivery of curriculum and methodologies according to the standards and guidelines applicable to Vizient Residency Programs and AACN. The Grady RN Residency Program is required for all novice nurses and advanced beginners. This program is one year in length. Vizient and the American Association of Colleges of Nursing (AACN) have demonstrated that one year of participating in a RN residency program affords the novice nurse transition as an insider with the skills and knowledge needed to provide quality safe care.
