Curriculum

One-to-one Preceptor Training

Our RN residents spend 75% of the program time receiving one-to-one precepted training in the clinical setting.  Our preceptors are experienced bedside pediatric nurses who are specially trained to provide expert clinical guidance to the resident.

Skills and Practice

Our RN residents spend the remaining 25% of the program time in the classroom and skills lab. These sessions are taught by our expert pediatric nurses and our subject matter experts. These sessions give the residents the tools necessary to make the transition from new graduate RN to specialty pediatric RN.

Dedicated Mentors, Coaches and Resources

A mentor is there to help guide the resident in their career development and provide them with the tools needed for them to grow professionally.

Supportive Debriefing

Our RN residents participate in supportive debriefing and self care groups throughout the program. Our debriefing sessions are mediated by various members of our multidisciplinary team. In these forums you can vent your stresses and share your experiences in a supportive and non-judgmental environment.

Looping

The looping experience is an individualized rotation/orientation to all appropriate hospital areas relevant to your selected unit.
