Nurse Resident

Job Purpose

The Nurse Residency Program (RN) is a structured transition-to-practice program designed to support newly licensed Registered Nurses as they develop the clinical competence, confidence, and professional judgment necessary to deliver high-quality care within the Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE) care model. Through a combination of hands‑on clinical experience, mentorship, classroom and field training, and interdisciplinary collaboration, Nurse Residents will gain exposure to home‑based care, geriatric medicine, chronic disease management, and coordinated care delivery.

Under the guidance of experienced nursing leaders and clinical preceptors, Nurse Residents will progressively develop the skills required to provide compassionate, patient-centered care to frail and elderly participants in both home and clinical settings.
