The transition from nursing school to professional nursing practice may be the most challenging time in the career of a nurse.

Historically, new nurses have a difficult time transitioning from the role of student to the role of professional nurse. When new graduates enter the complex environment of the health care organization, they may feel unprepared for the demands of practice and the pressure to develop competency in a new role within a relatively short amount of time.

Wheaton Franciscan Healthcare is proud to support new nurse transition to practice with Nurse Residency and Development Program Opportunities at our health care organizations. Our nurse transition program will help new nurse graduates and newly licensed nurses with:

• Mastery of clinical skills
• Time management
• Development of clinical judgment and decision-making
• Knowledge to manage a team of patients and coordinate a team of interdisciplinary health care members to positively impact patient outcomes
