Support and training continues throughout the first year through our ‘Transition to Practice for New Graduates’ and Advocate program.
Applications are accepted in September and February, for orientation that begins in March and July, respectively. The New Graduate RN Resident is also required to complete online educational references prior to offer of employment and secure a permanent license before the first day of orientation.

New Graduates (less than one year RN experience with active license) hired outside of the New Graduate RN Resident Program timeline, will also have support and training provided throughout the first year through our ‘Transition to Practice for New Graduates’ program. This is in addition to being assigned a designated preceptor during their unit-based orientation.
