NURSE RESIDENCY PROGRAM-
The GW Hospital Nurse Residency Program is designed to help recent nursing graduates (interns) bridge the gap from student nurse to professional nurse during their first year of nursing practice. This is accomplished by supporting them professionally, emotionally and socially, thereby easing their transition. The Nurse Residency Program consists of a debrief, topics for discussion, guest presenters from throughout the hospital, as well as an evidence based project, and is facilitated by a Nurse Residency Coordinator. Simultaneously, new graduate nurses will be oriented into their hired nursing unit. This orientation program consists of didactic sessions, e-learning, and hands-on skills, all of which the nurse graduates can apply to the clinical area. Each intern is paired with an experienced RN preceptor in the clinical area. Thus, new graduate nurses will gain the knowledge and hands-on experience they need to provide high-quality care to their patients.
