American Nurses Credentialing Center accreditation for nurse residency programs

The nurse residency programs in our Emergency Department and Neonatal Intensive Care Unit earned Accreditation with Distinction in Practice Transition Programs by the ANCC. They join the Critical Care nurse residency, certified in 2017. We are currently in the application phase of accreditation for our Medical/Surgical, Progressive and Float Pool nurse residencies, with a virtual site visit planned for summer 2020.
