Nurse Residency Program
Mentoring and supporting our “New to practice
nurses” at HUP is a tradition and we were
one of the first Philadelphia Hospitals to participate
in, and help mold, the National Nurse Residency
Program. This program is a year-long series
of learning and work experiences designed to
support nurses as they transition into professional
nursing practice.
The goal of the program, based
on Patricia Benner's From Novice to
Expert, is to assist the graduate nurse's
progress from advanced beginner to competent
nurse. This program offers nurses the opportunity
for clinical practice in an environment committed
to professional growth through nurse-patient
relationships, evidence-based practice, and interdisciplinary
collaboration.
Participating nurses
will receive a full salary and an excellent benefits
package as well as dedicated preceptors and faculty
for guidance and orientation throughout the program.
Criteria for Admission
- Graduation from an accredited BSN program
within the last 6 months
- Good references from your school of nursing
- RN licensure or a temporary practice permit
- A willingness to commit to the one-year necessary
to complete the Residency Program
