New Graduate Residency Program for Registered Nurses

The Registered Nurse Residency Program is centered on the support and development of the professional nurse, focusing on the transition from academia to acute care practice. Our year-long program combines practical and applied clinical experiences with comprehensive didactic learning. This support is in addition to the traditional unit/department orientation. At KDHCD we want our new nurses to flourish! Participants will gain many new experiences, skills, and resources to help them grow as a professional.

• Presentations
