CHI Memorial RN Residency Program at CHI Memorial Hospital Chattanooga and CHI Memorial Hospital Hixson is accredited as a Practice Transition Program by the American Nurses Credentialing Center’s Commission on Accreditation.
Accredited since 2017, CHI Memorial’s RN Residency Program was the first in Tennessee to achieve accreditation. As of December 2019 nearly 500 new graduate nurses have completed the residency since our first cohort in July 2015 when our program was revamped. New nurses gain exposure to different areas, find a department that’s a great fit for both the nurse and their team and feel comfortable in their new roles as they strive to grow in their careers.
Our comprehensive, 12-month program provides recent graduates of nursing schools with a consistent and thorough orientation experience designed to transition them into professional practice successfully.
During the orientation phase of the program, residents:
New nurses begin their training in February, July or September each year. Education and training are unique to the clinical track.
Our RN residency program is improving the quality of care provided to patients while also increasing physician confidence in new graduate nurses. CHI Memorial is currently accepting applications for the February 2021 cohort.
