Nurse Residency Program

St. Mary's is proud to offer a program to help newly licensed nurses successfully transition into clinical practice.

• Transition from entry-level, advanced-beginner nurse to a competent, professional nurse
• Develop clinical autonomy at point of patient care
• Use effective decision-making skills
• Strengthen professional commitment to nursing
• Formulate an individualized professional development plan
