Nurse Residency Program

Mentoring and supporting our "New to practice nurses" at HUP is a tradition and we were one of the first Philadelphia Hospitals to participate in, and help mold, the National Nurse Residency Program. This program is a year-long series of learning and work experiences designed to support nurses as they transition into professional nursing practice.

The goal of the program, based on Patricia Benner's From Novice to Expert, is to assist the graduate nurse's progress from advanced beginner to competent nurse. This program offers nurses the opportunity for clinical practice in an environment committed to professional growth through nurse-patient relationships, evidence-based practice, and interdisciplinary collaboration.

Participating nurses will receive a full salary and an excellent benefits package as well as dedicated preceptors and faculty for guidance and orientation throughout the program.

Criteria for Admission

  • Graduation from an accredited BSN program within the last 6 months
  • Good references from your school of nursing
  • RN licensure
  • One year commitment to complete the Residency Program

As a nurse at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania, you'll be part of a long and proud tradition of outstanding nursing care.
