Congratulations to the Graduates of the ACH RN Residency Program - Cohort 6
Ten ACH nurses graduated this week from Cohort 6 of the RN Residency Program. This group began their nursing careers at ACH in November, 2011. They make up the sixth group to graduate from our RN Residency Program.
The All Children's Hospital RN Residency Program is dedicated to providing a 12-month foundational program for the graduate or otherwise eligible nurse to provide the support and knowledge to grow into a competent pediatric professional practitioner. In addition to hospital nursing orientation, the RN Residency Program consists of 40 hours of general classes within the first 10 weeks, followed by a 4-hour survive & thrive session, scheduled monthly for the remainder of the first year. These classes are accompanied by preceptor-led orientation to the unit of hire, unit specific classes and training, looping opportunities to other hospital departments and services, simulation, a mentor program, clinical debriefings, and support time/self-care sessions.
