Nurse Residency Program

Nursing at Guthrie

Our Nurse Residents gain a sense of belonging and support from each other, because no matter what school you graduate from, whether nursing is a second career, and what other experience life has given you, there is nothing like the transformation into a successful Registered Nurse. 

"The NLRN program has given me an opportunity to learn new skills alongside other new grad nurses. It provides a safe space for me to celebrate my accomplishments, vent my frustrations and debrief tough situations. The feedback received has provided me with new perspectives and skills that I may not have learned or thought about if I did not have this program. Along with the great preceptors on the floor, I am confident this program is setting me up for a successful career. "

“Working for Guthrie has allowed me to grow professionally, with a career path beginning as a Patient Service Specialist (PSS) and then advancing as a Phlebotomist, Patient Care Technician and now a Registered Nurse (RN). Guthrie's opportunities for continuing education and certifications have allowed me to achieve my goals and enhance my clinical skills, benefiting the patients I help care for every day. My greatest takeaway from Guthrie’s NLRN program has been the friendships and professional networking between departments and facilities.
