VIZIENT/AACN Nurse Residency Program™
Goshen Health is proud to offer a program to help newly licensed nurses successfully transition into clinical practice.
At Goshen Health, we care about you and are committed to empower you to successfully navigate your professional nursing journey. We have partnered with the Vizient/ AACN Nurse Residency Program and are proud to provide resources to help our new nurses gain confidence and increase competence during this nine-month program. Your well-being as a new nurse is enhanced through hands on training and processing clinical experiences.
As a newly licensed nurse at Goshen Hospital, you will receive mentoring from an experienced nurse, build relationships with peers and participate in engaging learning experiences in a supportive environment. The interactive sessions using evidence-based curriculum will increase your ability to:
- Use effective decision-making skills
- Provide clinical nursing leadership when administering care
- Incorporate research-based evidence into practice
- Strengthen professional commitment to nursing
- Formulate an individualized professional development plan
There is no separate application to the AACN/ Vizient Nurse Residency Program. Every newly licensed RN with less than one-year experience will be enrolled based on hire date. We look forward to providing you the support and encouragement you need as you transition into the nurse you have always wanted to be.
