About The Position

The University of Vermont Health Network’s Nurse Residency Programs are designed to give newly graduated nurses the knowledge, skills, and critical behaviors needed to begin their nursing careers successfully. Residents learn alongside experienced nurses, nurse educators, and subject matter experts through classes, hands-on skills sessions, and precepted clinical experiences. Clinical preceptors facilitate patient-care experiences and directly supervise care as residents demonstrate bedside skills and behaviors. The program is intended to help new nurses provide safe, confident, quality patient care. This cohort is for August–December graduates, with positions in Vermont and northeastern New York. Cohort start dates are March 1, 2027, depending on the unit and affiliate. Available units may change based on hiring needs and include roles across medical-surgical, emergency, intensive care, women’s and children’s, skilled nursing, home health, hospice, rehabilitation, and other clinical areas at participating health partners. Many health care partners offer sign-on bonuses, with eligibility and policies varying by unit and partner. Internal employees may be ineligible for a sign-on bonus when accepting an opportunity outside their current health partner; internal-transfer policies vary by partner. Applicants should ask their Talent Acquisition Partner for details.
