Minnesota Lake, United States Centra Care Full time
Job Description

CentraCare is committed to helping new graduate Registered Nurses (RNs) in their transition from student to professional nurse through our Graduate Nurse Residency Program. This program is available for new RNs who have less than 1 year of work experience as an RN and is offered at five-time Magnet-designated St. Cloud Hospital, Rice Memorial Hospital in Willmar, and our regional hospitals including Paynesville, Melrose, Sauk Centre, and Long Prairie.

Our program is one of the best in the country for new RNs and is accredited with distinction as a Practice Transition Program by the American Nurses Credentialing Center.

Our year-long program is designed to provide you with additional training, support, and resources needed to transform you into an exceptional professional nurse. New RNs in the program will enhance their skills and knowledge through monthly paid training sessions. These sessions will consist of a variety of activities such as group discussions, simulations, case studies, and a professional development project. Upon accepting a nursing position, you will be automatically enrolled in the program.

"I learned so much in my first year as a nurse, and the new graduate nurse residency helped to supplement and solidify my knowledge. I felt the residency provided me with additional support and exposed me to all of the resources that CentraCare has available for their nurses."
