Nurse Residency Jobs

Begin your nursing career in an academic medical center that invests in you from day one. Launching your nursing career is one of the most defining moments of your professional life. At UVA Health, we take that responsibility seriously. From the moment you accept an offer of employment, you are enrolled into a structured, year‑long residency that combines immersive clinical practice, extended preceptorship, and protected learning time. You will begin your career in an environment that expects excellence, supports growth, and trusts new graduate nurses with real responsibility while surrounding them with the mentorship and resources needed to succeed. UVA Health’s New Graduate Registered Nurse Residency Program (NRP) is designed for recent nursing graduates from Associate Degree in Nursing (ADN), Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN), and Master of Science in Nursing (MSN) programs who are ready to transition into professional practice within a nationally recognized academic health system. This program offers a direct, supported pathway from graduation into meaningful clinical roles across inpatient, specialty areas, and ambulatory settings. As a New Graduate Registered Nurse at UVA Health’s University Medical Center, you step directly into a clinical role that balances high acuity patient care with intentional professional development. You are hired into a specific unit and grow within that practice through a thoughtfully designed residency experience.
