Nursing Residency Program

Backus offers a program designed to bridge the gap between nursing school training and actual practice in a hospital setting.

The Nurse Residency Program, the only one of its kind in eastern Connecticut, helps ease the transition for new nurses coming out of school and into a fast paced acute care setting.

Participants are able to observe various nursing jobs before applying for a specific position within the hospital.

"This new program provides a well-rounded overview of the entire organization, leaving graduate nurses ready to practice safely, comfortably and confidently," said Manuela Lescault, a registered nurse in the Backus Nursing and Community Education Department and Coordinator of the Nurse Residency Program.
