July 2026 COHORT - RN Ambulatory/Clinics

RN Nurse Resident positions available in the following Departments:

• Clinic RN - Multiple Specialty Clinics

The Nurse Residency Program (NRP) at Valley View has been assisting newly graduated RNs with their transition to practice since 2009. We are proud to say that our program achieved Accreditation with Distinction from the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC) in April 2018.


Valley View is accredited with distinction as a Practice Transition Program by the American Nurses Credentialing Center’s Commission on Accreditation in Practice Transition Programs for our Hospital and Clinics.

Annually, this program admits 2 cohorts of new RNs who receive an extended orientation with a designated preceptor; monthly classes that focus on the needs of a transitioning Nurse; and most importantly a year of extensive support from RN Education Facilitators, the Program Director and the Nurse Residency Coordinator.

The RN Nurse Resident will sign an agreement to work as a full-time benefitted RN with Valley View for 2 years, following completion of orientation on your assigned unit.


Valley View supports nurses working at the top of their licensure, so if the Nurse Resident is currently an ADN, the Nurse will work with the Director of Staff Development to advance their degree to a BSN within an agreed upon time frame. Valley View has a tuition assistance program and scholarship options that may help with costs.
