New Graduate RN Programs in Pediatrics

The New Graduate RN Foundation Programs focus on distinct career tracks:

• Acute Care tracks, including the following patient care areas: Hematology/Oncology/Cardiac, Neuro/Transplant, Inpatient Rehab, GI/Endo/Respiratory and Observation/Orthopedic
• Critical Care tracks, including: NICU, ED, PICU and CVICU

Each track is provided a 10-14 week guided clinical experience to include dedicated classroom education and computer-based learning specialized for your track, simulation, skill immersion and precepted training. Classroom sessions are designed to enhance application of clinical knowledge while emphasizing critical thinking and the nursing care process at Phoenix Children's. Our goal is to provide consistency and support as the new graduate nurse transitions into the role of a professional pediatric nurse.
