What is an RN Residency Program Manager?

An RN Residency Program Manager is a healthcare professional responsible for overseeing and coordinating nurse residency programs within a hospital or healthcare organization. These programs are designed to support new graduate Registered Nurses (RNs) as they transition from student to professional practice. The Program Manager develops curriculum, provides mentorship, ensures regulatory compliance, and evaluates program outcomes to promote the professional growth and retention of new nurses. They also serve as a liaison between nursing leadership, educators, and residents to ensure a smooth onboarding experience.
