Nurse Residency Program Spring 2027
About The Position
The Nurse Residency Program (NRP) is designed to support new graduate nurses during their transition from student to licensed Registered Nurse (RN). This program provides ongoing professional and educational support from a team of education specialists, nursing leaders, preceptors, and mentors. Through in-person and virtually-enhanced education, the program aims to develop critical thinking, evidence-based decision-making, engagement, stress management, and leadership skills. The residency accelerates nursing competency through in-depth experiences, education, and support during the first year of practice. It features a competency-based curriculum, trained preceptors, and active mentorship, aligning with ANCC Accreditation design and evidence-based practices. Newly licensed RNs are supported by CommonSpirit's National Nurse Residency Program, which includes a comprehensive clinical orientation and a 12-month transition-to-practice platform. Graduate Nurse Residents are responsible for delivering excellent patient care by assessing, formulating diagnoses, establishing goals, planning interventions, and evaluating outcomes. Upon completion of the first year, nurse residents report enhanced self-confidence and practice aligned with St. Luke's mission, vision, and values. Former residents often become mentors, unit leaders, and participate in nursing councils, with many pursuing advanced degrees and certifications.
