National Resident RN

Requirements

• The Nurse Residency Program is open to graduate nurses from an accredited school of nursing with a minimum 3.0 grade point average and less than 12 months of professional nursing experience.
• Minimum nursing degree requirements:
• Baylor St. Luke's Medical Center
• Bachelors Degree in Nursing (BSN) (required)
• St. Luke's Brazosport, St. Luke's Patients Medical Center, St. Luke's Sugar Land, St. Luke's Vintage, and St. Luke's Woodlands
• Associates Degree in Nursing (ADN) (required) or Bachelors Degree in Nursing (BSN) (preferred)
• All St. Luke's Health nurse residents receive ongoing professional and educational support from a team of education specialists, nursing leaders, preceptors and mentors. Through in-person and virtually-enhanced education and support, your critical thinking skills, evidence-based decision-making skills, engagement, stress management capabilities, and leadership skills will be developed, nurtured, and optimized. Our residency program accelerates nursing competency by providing in-depth experiences, education, and support during the Nurse Resident’s 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. Newly licensed registered nurses (RNs) are supported by CommonSpirit's National Nurse Residency Program as they transition to practice at one of our facilities. The program consists of a comprehensive, evidence-based clinical orientation in addition to a 12-month transition-to-practice platform.
• At the conclusion of the first year in practice, nurse residents report enhanced self-confidence in providing excellent patient care and function with practice that is in alignment with St. Luke's mission, vision and values. Former nurse residents also serve as mentors and unit leaders, sit on a variety of nursing councils and many are seeking advanced degrees and certifications.
• Graduate Nurse Residents are responsible for the delivery of excellence in patient care through assessing, formulating nursing diagnoses and establishing goals, planning and implementing intervention, and evaluating patient care outcomes.
