At United Health Services (UHS), our 12-month Nurse Residency Program helps new graduate nurses transition from nursing school to clinical practice in a safe learning environment. As a Nurse Resident, you'll learn from experienced RN mentors, form lasting friendships, and complete intensive clinical skills training to reinforce what you've learned in school.
We know that new RNs may not feel like they are ready to jump right into clinical practice—and at UHS, you aren't expected to. Our structured program will give you the training and time you need to gain confidence, plus you'll be paid competitively from the moment you arrive.
Becoming an RN isn't easy, but at United Health Services it's a little less intimidating with friends and mentors by your side.
This training isn't meant to repeat what you learned in nursing school. It's our way of safely putting nursing education into practice with the guidance of your preceptor.
Your First Six Months: Clinical Skills
We've thoughtfully created 30 discrete skills encounters where you'll receive hands-on training with the tools of the trade. You will also combine classroom and online learning once per month and dive deep into topics such as cardiac and respiratory care, pain management, diabetes, sepsis and skin, and GI/GU.
Your Next Six Months: Leadership and Development
As you gain confidence with your clinical skills, learn what it means to be a nurse leader with workshops on topics like clinical coaching, evidence-based practice, end-of-life care, communication, and de-escalation.
Our nurses have felt your fears, and the existence of the Nurse Residency Program is evidence that UHS has created a culture of understanding and compassion for our newest grads.
After you've worked hard for your degree, we want to reward you and thank you for choosing UHS as the place to start your career. Nurse Residents can receive $15,000 in tuition forgiveness for their ASN degree or $20,000 for their BSN degree.
Hourly rates for acute care and inpatient Nurse Residents at UHS are among the highest in the Southern Tier. We consistently monitor market trends to ensure our RNs are paid competitively. You'll earn what you deserve starting on day one.
