Nurse Residency Program
The year-long residency program provides newly-hired, first-time nurses with on-the-job training that focuses on topics including ethics, decision making, clinical leadership, and the incorporation of research-based evidence into practice. The program also provides new nurses with support and mentorship proven to enhance nurse satisfaction, performance, and retention.
Critical Care Nursing Fellowship
Debuting in 2024, NYC Health + Hospitals is launching an exciting Critical Care Nursing Fellowship to provide high-quality care to critically ill patients. This new Fellowship focuses on critical care within a selected range of specialties and includes simulation; didactic, on-site experiences; clinical rotations in emergency, post-anesthesia care unit and telemetry/stepdown units; and providing an interactive and personalized learning experience.
Nursing Emergency Department Fellowship
This 22‐week Emergency Department Nursing Fellowship Program is for nurses with no prior emergency department clinical experience. The Emergency Department Nursing Fellowship Program builds on foundational nursing skills to further enhance the knowledge and skills of fellows to ensure they are equipped to deliver safe patient care in a fast‐paced emergency department.
NURSE Corps
For accepted applicants, NURSE Corps pays for 60 percent of unpaid nursing education debt over two years, with an option to extend to a third year for an additional 25 percent of the original balance. In exchange, applicants commit to two years at an eligible facility experiencing a critical shortage of nurses.
National Health Services Corps (for Nurse Practitioners)
The National Health Service Corps Loan Repayment Program offers primary care medical, dental, and mental and behavioral health care providers, including Nurse Practitioners, the opportunity to have their student loans repaid in exchange for providing health care in eligible facilities with limited access to care.
