We offer a generous tuition reimbursement program to all employees, tuition assistance funds for registered nurses, and free onsite courses to help staff in the health care field.

New graduates are any nursing students who anticipate graduating within the next 12 months, or any registered professional nurse with less than one year of nursing experience.
Complete the online application for new graduate nurses using requisition #53813 or apply directly here. Do not apply more than 12 months before you graduate.
You will receive an auto-generated email that your application has been received. The Talent Acquisition Team may contact you for more information. You are required to bring a letter of recommendation from a clinical instructor to the interview or note an email for a clinical instructor on the application under Personal References. This is in addition to a list of references from a previous employer or co-worker. Once a decision is made after your interview, you will be notified of the results.
Satisfactory clearances from Security, Employee Health Service and Human Resources must be completed before date of hire.
Current American Heart Association (AHA) or Military Training Network (MTN) Basic Life Support (BLS) certification must be presented to the Center for Learning and Development (CLD) on your second day of orientation.

This class will be provided at no expense to you.
Nurse Residency Program
The Nurse Residency program reunites newly licensed nurses at designated intervals throughout their first year of hire. Nurse Residency allows new nurses to practice their skills in a protected setting and discuss their experiences during the transition from student to professional nurse.
Through facilitated group activities and discussions, we identify successes, conflicts, and concerns, and provide a forum for sharing strategies and analyzing case studies. These structured sessions aid in the development of critical thinking skills, increase confidence, and aid with actualization of the nursing role.
The goals of the program are to:
- Provide support for the mastery of skills required to complete orientation (first 10-12 weeks of hire)
- Promote the art of nursing through the practice of skills such as communication, critical thinking, moral resilience, and advocacy
- Cultivate clinical inquiry and judgment, prompting the nurse to promote best practices and explore evidence-based interventions for meeting patient needs
- Improve confidence, care, and commitment to lifelong learning and excellence in patient care
A minimum of an Associate's Degree in Nursing is required for all experienced registered professional nurses, unless otherwise indicated.
