About The Position

Overlake Medical Center & Clinics is recruiting new graduate nurses for its February 22, 2027 RN Residency cohort, with placements available in the Post-Partum Unit. The 12-month residency is designed for new graduate nurses and uses evidence-based education and training to help participants develop the basic competencies and confidence of a Staff RN. The 28-bed Post-Partum Unit provides Family Centered Care and also includes antepartum and gynecological surgery patients.

The residency includes instructor-led courses covering current and emerging clinical guidelines and standards, one-to-one clinical precepting by an RN for personalized bedside training, and focused group sessions for participants to exchange ideas and experiences. Residents work a 0.9 FTE during the precepted period. After completion, the shift will be based on patient and department needs, most likely nights.

Applicants may apply to up to three units but must submit a separate application directly to each unit to be considered for that specialty. A cover letter and resume are required with each application, combined into one document; applicants should explain their interest in each area. The application deadline is November 22, 2026. Applicants must have an active Washington State RN license, or a multistate license from a compact state, before orientation begins on February 22, 2027, and must hold current Health Provider CPR certification. A 24-month FTE commitment is required. Due to the intensity of the program, extended vacation time will not be approved.
