Nursing Graduates are responsible (as unlicensed personnel under the direct supervision of the RN)for providing patient care as delegated by an RN. In this role, the Nursing Graduate will demonstrate the knowledge, critical thinking and integration of evidence-based practice requirements within the scope of the Nursing Graduate Training Program. The Nursing Graduate learns to formulate patient care on the components of the nursing process.

Nurse Graduates are able to benefit from role development as they transition from the Nurse Graduate role to the Registered Nurse role, while awaiting their RN licensure. The goal of this training program is to facilitate the transition of all Nurse Graduates to Registered Nurse responsibilities at the time the Nurse Graduate presents a verifiable, full, and unrestricted license to practice as an RN in the state of practice.

For the first year of employment, new graduates participate in our Nursing Residency Program. This program provides a combination of hands‑on training, debrief and networking session, as well as mentor/mentee relationships, all aimed at supporting new nurses to allow them to reach their full potential as a Registered Nurse.
