Nursing Residency
St. Lawrence Region
About the Program
In collaboration with Rochester Regional Health, St. Lawrence Health is proud to offer its new-to-practice nurses the opportunity to participate in the Vizient/AACN Nurse Residency Program™. This program helps transition new nurse residents into their clinical roles and build confidence. Using an evidence-based curriculum and final project, this program supports new-to-practice nurses as they successfully transition to competent nursing professionals.
