Nurse Residency Program
The Baystate Health Nurse Residency Program (BHNRP) is designed for nurses with less than 12 months nursing experience and prepares the novice nurse to be a successful partner on the health care team.
The 10-month program provides a planned, comprehensive period of time during which registered nurses can acquire the knowledge and skills to deliver safe, quality care in a specific clinical setting.
The BHNRP strengthens the relationship between academics and service through professional development, mentorship/peer support, and scholarly inquiry within the Baystate Health system. Learn more here.
