Specialties offered at each campus will be listed in the job posting so you can make your selection during the application process.

The Nurse Residency Program is available in many specialties including ICU, Trauma, Emergency, Perinatal, Perioperative, Acute Care and many more.

The number of positions varies by specialty and by campus. Once you apply, recruiters can provide additional details specific to the campus you're interested in.

While ADNs are hired into the Nurse Residency Program, many of our campuses prefer BSN candidates. Additionally, ADN nurses who are enrolled or plan to enroll in a BSN program are preferable for hire.

Pre-Match Day Open House scheduling varies by campus each cohort. Be sure to follow our Facebook page (Memorial Hermann Careers) for the most up to date event information.

No, you do not have to attend to be considered. However, it is a great opportunity to network with leadership teams and specialty units in order to determine if it is a good fit for you and your career.

This will be handled on a case-by-case basis. However, to be fair to all candidates, it is strongly recommended that you attend.

Campuses will host a second Match Day if all positions were not filled during the first Match Day.

You could be chosen to work days or nights after orientation, depending on the needs of the unit, so be open and flexible to work either shift.

The schedule requires working every other weekend (including Sundays) and rotating holidays in 12 hour shifts.

Length of orientation is dependent upon the nursing specialty and the individual nurse’s progression. Timelines for each specialty area are used as a guide and can be tailored to meet the need of the nurse resident:

Acute Care areas: 12 -14 weeks
Critical Care/Labor & Delivery: 22 - 24 weeks
Perioperative Services: 50 - 52 weeks

The first one or two weeks may consist of New Employee Orientation and Nursing Skills day, however when you start on the unit, your schedule will vary and you are on 12 hour shifts; 3 days/week.

Any books or materials given to you during training will be yours to keep, however many training course materials may also come in the form of online learning and education.

The length of didactic training is dependent upon your specialty unit of hire. Courses usually occur, but are not limited to, the first two to three months of orientation and vary from in person training on your campus/local facility or virtual learning.

A recruiter will contact you with further instructions and details for your specified Match Day interview if you've been selected.

If your application has been selected, here are next steps:

Notification that your applicatio has been selected via email (sent to the same email address you used to apply).
Receipt of an email from support@prophecyhealth.com with a link to complete the clinical assessment. Please complete the assessment within 48 hours of receiving the link.
Invitation to interview or attend a campus Match Day for interviews.
If selected for hire, you'll receive an offer letter stating terms of your employment and participation in the Memorial Hermann Nurse Residency Program.
Submission of all required hiring documents, including Board of Nursing (BON) license verification.
Communication from the recruiter and manager about orientation and start date.
