Attention all May 2026 Graduates! Apply today for positions in Vermont and North Eastern New York for cohorts starting in June, July, August, September, and October 2026 (depending on unit & affiliate).
Nurse Residency Programs across the health partners are designed to provide new nurses with the knowledge, skills, and critical behaviors needed to be successful starting their new career. Newly graduated nurses will engage with experienced nurses, nurse educators, and subject matter experts in a series of classes, hands on skills sessions, and precepted clinical experiences in order to be able to safely and confidently provide quality care to patients. Clinical preceptors will facilitate patient care experiences and provide direct supervision of care as you demonstrate skills and behaviors at the bedside. Applying to University of Vermont Health is the first step in a career of lifelong learning as a registered nurse.
