Graduate Nurse Residency
Graduate nurses can begin their career at MU Health Care by applying up to a year before graduation and still receive a Graduate Nurse sign-on bonus of up to $20,000. Applying early, as a nursing student, can also help increase your chances of being placed in your preferred unit.
Nurse Residency Program
This 12-month program consists of seminars, hands-on training and simulations that allow new nurses to gain additional knowledge and training beyond what they would learn in a standard orientation program. Our program empowers new nurses to continue their professional development while gaining on-the-job experience.
