Nurse Resident - Ambulatory Winter 2027
About The Position
Join the #1 hospital in Wisconsin! We are seeking an Ambulatory Nurse Resident to join our prestigious 12-month program designed to help new graduate nurses move confidently into practice following graduation from an accredited nursing program. This program includes an orientation designed specifically for new-to-practice nurses, with mentoring by preceptors and clinical nurse specialists. Nurse residents will participate in twice-monthly classes with their cohort, meeting with clinical experts, problem-solving clinical challenges, and learning about resources to support their practice. Ambulatory Nursing involves working within an interdisciplinary team during all stages of patient care: wellness, prevention, acute and chronic illness to end-of-life. Responsibilities include telephone triage, growing telehealth opportunities, medication administration, treatments, testing, patient/family education, and assuring a plan of care for high volumes of patients. A high degree of independence and critical thinking are crucial to the role. The Post-Baccalaureate Nurse Residency Program at UW Health is part of a national initiative developed by the American Association of Colleges of Nursing and Vizient and is one of 40 Nurse Residency Programs accredited through the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education (CCNE) in the United States. Applicants should apply to either the Ambulatory Program or the Inpatient Program, not both.
