New Graduate RN

About the Team

At CommonSpirit Health, we believe our nursing care is our brand. We are committed to providing a nationally-standardized, evidence-based best practice for newly licensed and new-to-practice nurses to transition safely, effectively, and efficiently. Our New Graduate Nurse Residency program delivers nursing orientation and organizational socialization within the profession. Throughout the program, you will be supported by leaders and mentors who care about your success and will help you become the nursing professional you've always envisioned.

About the Role

A CommonSpirit Health Nurse Resident is a new graduate direct clinical care registered nurse (RN) who continues to develop nursing knowledge, skills, abilities, and behaviors introduced in formal education as they transition into practice. This year-long program is designed to support new nurses during their transition into professional practice with competence, confidence, and leadership skills while fostering lifelong learning and career development.

You will work alongside peers on professional development activities, including workshops, courses, and the completion of an Evidence-Based Project. The program features 18-28 weeks of practice-based orientation focused on hands-on clinical training, where you will work closely with experienced preceptors to build your skills gradually. Mentorship continues beyond the first year to support your ongoing professional growth.

Progression is expected in areas such as leading through mission, vision, and values; patient focus; taking ownership; teamwork; clinical performance improvement; and patient safety. You will learn to collaborate with the interprofessional team to ensure effective patient care delivery and develop accountability for your own practice and the coordination of care.
