Overview

At CHI Health's CUMC-Bergan Mercy Hospital, we believe our nursing care is the core foundation of our work. As a newly licensed registered nurse (RN) and valued member of our team, you will be supported by our National Nurse Residency Program (NNRP) as you transition to practice as a Medical Surgical Nurse. Through in-person and virtually-enhanced education and support, we will help you develop your critical thinking and evidence based decision-making skills, engagement, stress management capabilities, and leadership skills.

Our program accelerates nursing competency by providing in-depth experiences, education, and support during your first year. A competency-based curriculum coupled with trained preceptors and active mentorship capitalizes on American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC) Accreditation design and innovative, contemporary, and evidence-based practices.
