Adventist HealthCare•Silver Spring, MD

1d•$37 - $55•Onsite

About The Position

The Nurse Residency Program is a year-long experience designed to support the transition from college to professional nursing practice. After the completion of the residency year, there is a minimum 1-year commitment to the unit of hire. Once this commitment is satisfied, the nurse is eligible to transfer within the Adventist HealthCare system. During the first year, the residency team collaborates with unit leaders, preceptors, and the nurse resident to ensure a successful transition. A prescribed orientation period, based on the specialty of hire, is provided. During orientation, the nurse resident works under the direct supervision of an RN preceptor. Monthly, nurse residents from across the AHC system attend a 4-hour seminar for debriefing clinical experiences, engaging with leaders, and building community with peers. After orientation, the nurse remains a resident through the calendar year with continuous support from the Nurse Residency Team. The preceptor serves as a mentor after the transition to independence.
