Graduate Nurse Residency Program

At Saint Alphonsus Health System, our mission is to provide graduate nurses with a powerful start to their careers, rooted in purpose, connection, and pride in their chosen paths. Our strategy focuses on delivering a distinctive hiring experience, one that’s built on respect, encouragement, and genuine partnership—setting Saint Alphonsus apart as a leader in the healthcare community and cultivating lasting bonds with every candidate.

To achieve this, we’re establishing dedicated hiring cycles twice a year with clearly defined application windows, creating excitement and anticipation around each opportunity to join our team. Through our specialty residencies, we’ll highlight career pathways across our units, generating interest not only in specialized areas but also in our acute care units, guiding candidates toward meaningful career growth and fostering their trust in Saint Alphonsus as a partner in both personal and professional development.

Learn more about Saint Alphonsus from our Chief Nursing Officer Lauren Smith.
