Ochsner’s Nurse Residency program is supporting nurses with every step; program mentors will help celebrate wins and overcome any challenges to transition to practice!
"The Nurse Residency Program provided by Ochsner has helped me bridge from a nursing student to practicing in a clinical profession. The program offered resources specific to Ochsner policies/procedures as well as self-care. I felt more confident and prepared throughout my orientation because I felt supported by my leaders, had 24/7 access to my mentors, and had peer support from other new grad nurses I met in the program. The program kept me engaged because unlike traditional classroom education, I participated in fun, hands-on activities, and open discussions with my cohort. I have noticed an improvement in my clinical decision-making, time management, and professional development skills. Going forward in my first year as a nurse, I keep in touch with my mentors, as well as my leaders who are continuously supporting me and my nursing career."
