New Graduate RN Residency, Cardiac​/Medical IMCU

New Graduate RN Residency, Step Down (36 hours, Night, rotating weekends), expected start date in March 2026.

The New Graduate Nurse Residency Program at BMC assists in the transition to practice for newly licensed nurses. Nurse residency or nurse transition programs reduce turnover and improve critical thinking/clinical decision‑making skills, thereby impacting patient outcomes and nurse satisfaction. Please read the application instructions thoroughly.

Boston Medical Center has developed a comprehensive new graduate nurse transition to practice program incorporating the Nurse of the Future Nursing Core Competencies. New graduate nurses are hired into the institution in cohorts. After four months of training, RNs will assume a position on a Step Down unit, with the units requesting a two‑year commitment after investing the new graduate RN.

The role is designated for nurses who have graduated from nursing school within the twelve (12) months before their date of hire and encompasses nursing assessment, diagnosis, planning, intervention, evaluation, and coordination of care for patients and their families across the health‑care continuum. The registered nurse is accountable for clinical, educational, quality, and fiscal patient‑care outcomes using the model of care designed by the nursing department and following established agency policies, procedures, protocols, guidelines, and standards of practice.

Reports to the Unit Nurse Director.
