About our Program:
Our new graduate nursing residency is a 12-month, cohort-based, program for nurses with under 12 months nursing experience. The program uses evidence-based criteria to create a framework for helping new nurses develop the knowledge, skills and competency to be successful in practice. It provides the foundation for professional development for nurses early in their career. Nurses who successfully complete transition to practice/residency program have a higher likelihood of being satisfied with their work and the contributions they make to patient care. Our program provides a great foundation for a long nursing career as a Loyola Medicine Nurse.
