Nurse Residency

Madonna Rehabilitation Hospitals offers a rehabilitation nurse residency program for nursing students who have successfully completed an accredited RN program to be hired after passing the NCLEX exam or securing provisional licensure. Residency program participants will be paid a competitive hourly rate with full-time benefits and shift differentials throughout the 20-week program. During this time, nurse residents would be able to orient with a preceptor, working to the full scope of RN licensure. Madonna’s nurse residency program is designed to help new nursing school graduates transition to practicing RNs. Participants will have the opportunity to gain specific knowledge, tools and experiences needed to begin a successful career in rehabilitation nursing. This program will be offered two times each year, December and May.

If selected for the program, participants will be oriented and explore several nursing units to increase knowledge of the rehabilitation process and continuum of care at Madonna. Participants will receive rotational clinical experiences in three different rehabilitation units including:

• Madonna Rehabilitation Specialty Hospital;
• Madonna Rehabilitation Acute Care Hospital; and
• Pediatric Rehabilitation.

Gaining experience in a variety of clinical settings will offer the needed guidance towards selecting a desired area of practice.
