New Grad Residency Program

New Grad Residency Program

We have many programs in place to help you transition into healthcare and into Novant Health.

Novant Health’s RN New Grad Residency Program will allow new graduate RNs time to gradually assume the duties and responsibilities that accompany the nursing role, under the direction and guidance of a preceptor and other members of the healthcare team. The program also assures alignment with the Institute of Medicine's (IOM) recommendations for advancing the future of nursing practice. We will hire into the residency program three times per year.
