The Nurse Resident will undergo an intense program of instruction that includes classroom and competency evaluations, practical and clinical experience under a trained nurse preceptor, followed by independent, but closely supervised clinical experience in any of the acute care settings that include medical/surgical, geriatric/long term care, or behavioral health.
