About the Program
Are you looking to expand your knowledge and experience in a new specialty or transition to acute care?
Overlake recognizes that continued professional development of our nursing workforce fosters our culture of excellence by providing an environment that promotes lifelong learning, growth and development. We encourage experienced nurses to explore their interests in a variety of nursing specialties through our Overlake Medical Center Transition RN program. This program is designed for experienced (minimum of one year of RN experience) nurses interested in moving to a new specialty area.
The Transition RN program is based on best practices and evidence-based education and will include a blend of online learning and instructor led courses; 1:1 clinical precepting by an experienced RN; focused sessions with an Education Specialist to enhance learning and clinical reasoning in your new area of practice.
During the program, you will work a .9 FTE. After completing the precepted portion of the program, your FTE and shift will be based on available positions, with a high probability of .9 FTE night shift.
