New grad information

In Our Workplace,

COLLABORATION DRIVES SUCCESS Carilion Clinic offers a Nurse Residency Program (NRP) to provide novice nurses the knowledge and skills necessary to transition into a professional nursing role.

What are the benefits of a Nurse Residency Program?

Who is eligible to participate in the Nurse Residency Program?

» All new graduate R.N.s and R.N.s with less than one year of experience hired to Carilion Clinic inpatient areas

What is the format of the Nurse Residency Program? Does it replace traditional clinical orientation?

» Must have passed NCLEX and be licensed in Virginia (or compact state) How do I apply for the Nurse Residency Program? » All nurses with less than one year of experience hired in Carilion Clinic inpatient units, having met all the eligibility requirements, will participate in the NRP.

» Hospital and clinical orientation will occur the first two weeks of hire. Unit-based orientation will follow, lasting usually 6-12 weeks depending on experience. Upon completion of unit orientation (or possibly overlapping slightly), nurse residents will enter the Nurse Residency Program.
