Before you sign that contract, watch this critical breakdown of what hospitals WON'T tell you about nurse residency programs. As a nursing career coach who's helped over 200 new graduate nurses land competitive positions at Stanford, New York City hospitals, and speciality units like ICU, ED, and labor and delivery, I'm revealing exactly what to look for (and what red flags to avoid) when selecting your first nurse residency program. In this video, you'll discover the truth about how to choose a nurse residency program, including the differences between general residency programs and speciality-specific programs for ICU nurses, emergency department, NICU, and other competitive units. I'll show you critical interview questions to ask about orientation length, preceptorship training, and hospital retention rates that most new nurses never think to ask. Plus, what to do if there's no residency program available and how to identify teaching hospitals and magnet-certified facilities that will actually support your transition to practice. Whether you're a new grad nurse trying to get hired in your dream speciality or worried about becoming one of the 1 in 5 nurses who leave within their first year, this guide will help you make confident decisions and avoid costly mistakes when choosing your first nursing job. ⏱️ VIDEO TIMESTAMPS - KEY INSIGHTS: 0:00 - Introduction: Why Your Nurse Residency Program Choice Matters 1:41 - General Nurse Residency Programs Explained (Med-Surg, Telemetry, ICU Selection) 2:59 - Specialty-Specific Residency Programs (ICU, ED, Labor & Delivery, NICU, OR) 5:33 - Teaching Hospitals vs Magnet-Certified Hospitals for New Nurses. 8:23 - Why Nurse Residency Programs Matter for New Graduate Nurses 10:30 - How to Prepare for Competitive Residency Program Interviews 💼 ABOUT DR.
