Job Description

Nursing students who graduated in December 2025 and/or w ill graduate in May 2026 and are interested in opportunities at any of our Kansas City-area hospitals ...look no further!!

**We are looking to add to our MedSurg staff in all areas, focusing on specialized intermediate units. All shifts available.**

Please apply to the Nurse Residency Program. After you complete the application, a Talent Advisor will follow up with you on the rest of the recruitment process and timeline.

(If you are an internal candidate you must apply through workday.)

We are looking for nurse graduates who are eager to learn and are excited to start their career in nursing. To succeed, you must be a team player who is not afraid to ask questions. We are looking for career-driven professionals that empower positivity and patient-centered care.

Our nurse residency program is based on the National Council of State Boards of Nursing's Transition to Practice model, and all new graduate BSNs and ADNs hired at Saint Luke's participate in this program. Participating in the nurse residency program allows you to build clinical competency and professional practice behaviors throughout your first year as an RN.

We are here to support our new graduate nurses, so as part of this 12-month program, you will be paired with experienced nurses and clinical educators. Your preceptor will work closely with you during the orientation period to help you adjust to your unit. Mentors and facilitators will assist you in your professional development and help you become more involved with Saint Luke's and its shared governance.

This program is adaptable and is continuously optimized to meet the demands of patient care. Our leadership is committed to your success and heavily involved in the program. Our residency program will provide you with a supportive community of peers, leadership, and mentors to allow you to begin your transition to becoming the best nurse you can be.

In this position, you will be accountable for utilizing the nursing process. You will be responsible for performing patient care, delegating patient care tasks, and supervising of other patient care staff. You will have the opportunity to be responsible for coordinating the plan of care for a group of assigned patients and consulting with other members of the health care team when indicated to ensure optimal patient outcomes.

This position will allow you to:
  • Transition from entry-level nurse to a competent professional.
  • Develop effective decision-making skills.
  • Develop strategies to incorporate sources of evidence-based practice and process improvement and present to peers.
  • Develop clinical leadership skills at the point of patient care.
