Job Description

The Nurse Residency Program

A 12 month transition-to-practice program designed to provide new graduate nurses a comprehensive evidence-based curriculum to support new nurses to a competent level of practice.

This program is supported by the Vizient/AACN Nurse Residency Program™ curriculum, as well as ongoing Memorial Hermann Clinical Development programs.

We agree a healthy support system is the key to achieving success in a clinical curriculum, which is why our System Nurse Residency Program follows a cohort-focused model where you are able to grow and develop your nursing skills in a supportive setting.

Through the Nurse Residency Program, Memorial Hermann is investing in the future of the healthcare industry, the profession of nursing, and in your professional future by providing a strong foundation on which to start your career. The objective of our program is to enable you to develop from an advanced beginner into an exceptional nurse.
