Nurse Residency Program Alumni

See what past residents learned, how they grew and what they’ve gotten from the program.
Desribe your experience in the Nurse Residency Program: “You get out of school thinking, 'do I know how to be a nurse?' And then you have these preceptors that are challenging you to learn or exhibit all of the stuff you are supposed to learn from school, and you realize you actually do know something. Luckily they are there to support that, and you come out the program feeling comfortable and confident. The program makes you feel proud of picking that career and being able to go in the right direction.” - Vanessa G., Critical Care RN
How did the Nurse Residency Program leaders help you prepare to be a professional nurse? “Our educators and residency coordinators are always encouraging us to do more, and so I’ve gotten involved in our unit practice council. Now I sit on the nurse residency board as a former residency member so I can advocate for our new nurses. The program not only teaches you to be a nurse outside of school, it pushes you forward in everything.” - Austin J., Critical Care RN
What was the Nurse Residency Program like for you? “I was assigned a preceptor in the Nurse Residency Program that would really just go with us, and from room to room show us everything in the ER and really how to function as a nurse. The program gave us a person to shadow, they weren’t just like ‘okay you got this’ it’s a lot of hand holding and then letting you go when you’re ready.” - Jennifer B., ER RN
What advice would you give your younger self about starting the program? “If I could talk to my young self, I would tell her to not be afraid to speak up. The Nurse Residency Program is there for you, make it your own and do what’s best for you to grow.” - Thione T., Critical Care RN
