Team Impact

Glens Falls Hospital's Nurse Residency Program is accredited as a Practice Transition Program from the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC)! Current accredited tracks include Medical-Surgical, Emergency Department, and Critical Care. The Residency program allows you to work closely with experienced RNs as you enter the nursing workforce. You will also be provided with opportunities for continued education and mentorship.
The program begins with clinical orientation on the day shift prior to joining one of our Medical/Surgical floors on the night shift. Clinical orientation includes rotating through our Medical-Surgical units while working with a nurse preceptor. In addition, the first six months includes 4-hour educational sessions every two weeks, to dive into high-risk, low-frequency nursing skills and professional nursing topics. During the second six months, nurse residents are provided further education and peer support during group mentorship sessions. Each nurse resident has a Clinical Nurse Educator assigned for the first year, who serves as a mentor to provide additional support as they transition to a competent, professional nurse.
