The complexity of health care now requires new graduate nurses to attain an unprecedented level of competency to deliver high-quality safe care. Experts have called for, and new graduate nurses are requesting, that employers provide additional programmatic support for the transition from student to registered nurse.
A “new graduate” is defined as an RN who has been licensed for 12 months or less.
Contract - The residency is a 2-year commitment. There is a one year residency program and a one year commitment to Baptist afterwards. Residents may transfer to other units after their initial year of residency.
