Our Vision and Goal

Vision: "To offer new graduate nurses a place of belonging where they can learn, grow and thrive as they progress from a novice to a competent professional."

Goal: "To create the Employer of Choice transition program that develops effective and engaged nurses who provide exceptional care and pursue professional development."

The program features a structured onboarding process, active education to enhance competency and confidence, core workshops aimed at improving 5-star quality, professional development opportunities and collaboration among other residents.
