New Graduate RN Residency - Emergency Department (February 22, 2027 Cohort)
About The Position
Overlake Medical Center & Clinics is hiring new graduate nurses for its 12-month RN Residency program, with a February 22, 2027 start date in the Emergency Department. The program is designed for new graduate nurses and uses best practices and evidence-based education and training to develop the basic competencies and confidence needed to practice as a Staff RN. The Emergency Department has 40 beds, is a Level 3 Trauma center, and treats more than 50,000 patients each year. It is recognized for excellence in patient experience and strong clinical outcomes in sepsis, STEMI, and stroke care. The residency includes instructor-led courses on current and emerging clinical guidelines and standards, one-to-one bedside training with an RN preceptor, and group sessions for residents to exchange ideas and experiences. Residents work a 0.9 FTE during the precepted period. After residency, shift assignment will be based on patient and department needs, most likely nights. A 24-month FTE commitment is required, and extended vacation time will not be approved because of the program's intensity. Applicants must submit a completed application, cover letter, and resume. Applicants may apply to up to three units, must apply separately to each unit, and should explain their interest in each area. Applications are accepted through November 22, 2026.
