Job description

New Graduate Nurse – December 2026 Graduates

Launch your nursing career with confidence through our structured program designed to support your transition from Graduate to Registered Nurse.

Under the direct supervision of an RN preceptor, you'll gain hands-on experience in a supportive learning environment focused on developing your ability to provide safe, effective care for increasingly complex patients. This preceptor/graduate partnership is designed to prepare you for full RN responsibilities once licensure is obtained.

Our goal is simple: prepare you to successfully step into a full Registered Nurse role within our health system once you obtain your RN license.

Licensure Requirement: A full, unrestricted RN license must be obtained within 60 days of starting the program.

Take the next step in your nursing journey—we're here to support you every step of the way.

This posting is intended for all ASN and BSN December 2026 graduates for inpatient units. August '26 graduates, or prior without any RN experience, may apply as well.

Associates or better in Nursing.
