About The Position

Calling all Senior Nursing Students, Nurse Graduates and new RN's, it is time to apply for our Labor and Delivery Nurse Residency Program starting Spring 2027. The ChristianaCare Nurse Residency Program is accredited with distinction as a Practice Transition Program by the American Nurses Credentialing Center’s Commission on Accreditation in Practice Transition Programs. Research validates that new to practice nurses completing a structured and accredited residency program leads to: increase in competency, reduction of error, reduced self-reported stress, and increased job satisfaction. Therefore, we are committed to supporting all registered nurses with under one year of experience through a nurse residency specialty track. This exciting curriculum integrates: Lecture and simulation education, Peer support, and Preceptor-led clinical experiences structured to foster critical thinking, evidence-based practice, interdisciplinary collaboration, effective communication, quality and safety, and professional development. The Labor & Delivery Nurse Residency Program is a challenging 26-week program that integrates educational components with preceptor-led clinical experiences in 4 areas of the Labor & Delivery unit. These areas include Labor & Delivery, Peri Op, OB High Risk and Antenatal. This program has been devised by the nurses in the Labor and Delivery department and allows for a smooth transition into the L&D RN role for those candidates who qualify. The program is followed by continued residency meetings during months 6, 8, 10, and 12 to further develop as professional nurses and integral members of our caregiver team. Upon successful program completion, participants will be hired as a staff nurse within the Labor and Delivery unit at ChristianaCare. Nurse residents are required to pass State Boards and be licensed as a RN in the State of Delaware (or compact state) prior to starting position. Upon hire, a commitment agreement to work at ChristianaCare will be signed. The agreement requires completion of two years within ChristianaCare and 15 months of those two years on the unit of hire.
