CommonSpirit Health National Nurse Residency Program (NNRP)

 

Registered Nurse (RN) residency programs are the gold standard nation-wide to facilitate the transition from nursing student to competent nurse.  Since 2011, Mercy Medical Center Redding has met this gold standard by offering new graduate nurses a transition-to-practice program.  Starting in 2023, we have been proud to offer our new graduate nurses a comprehensive, innovative transition-to-practice residency program that meets ANCC accreditation standards.

Making Your Professional Goals Happen

At CommonSpirit Health, we believe it is vital to set our new graduate nurses up for success. Dedicated preceptors and mentors will be working with the new graduate nurse utilizing evidence-based teaching techniques, simulation training, and virtual/in-person classroom support to ensure learner success. 

This is an intense, focused program that will foster the development of critical thinking, evidence-based decision-making, stress management, and leadership skills. Our curriculum is created to prepare the newly licensed graduate to deliver safe, effective, and quality patient care. The new graduate will experience the true meaning of interdisciplinary relationships via clinical rotations with Respiratory Therapy, Pharmacy, Lab, Physical Therapy, Wound Care, Radiology, Cath Lab, and Rapid Response. Our National Nurse Residency Program promises to set the new graduate nurse up for a successful and rewarding career at Mercy Medical Center Redding.
