  2. You can start through a New Grad RN Residency Program built to launch your first year with support rather than dropping you straight onto the floor alone.

    For new grads

  3. This is a critical-access hospital with about 1.08 RNs per bed, 27 RNs on staff, and a daily census around 3, so the volume stays small enough that you know your patients.
