Are you ready to start your RN career, but need experience to reach your goal of working on a Critical Care unit? Backus Hospital offers employment opportunities designed to bridge the gap between nursing school training and actual nursing practice in an acute-care setting. The Backus Nurse Residency Partnership builds on the previous academic knowledge by providing in-depth learning through clinical immersion, simulation training and classroom-style activities while orienting to your position. Nurse Residents will be hired directly to a specialty area where they will receive focused clinical education. The positions offered vary based on the needs of the hospital. In addition to clinical immersion on the units, Nurse Residents meet weekly in a classroom format to share experiences and receive additional education and training. Following successful completion of the Clinical Immersion phase, Nurse Residents will transition to their staff position. Professional development opportunities will be provided during the first year of employment through seminars, simulations, and monthly check-in meetings.
We are hiring for 2023! Start dates in February, July and October. Admission to the Backus Nurse Residency Program is highly competitive. New graduates are encouraged to apply prior to graduation. Learn more at a Zoom Info Session!
