Nationwide Children’s Hospital welcomes new graduate nurses who are eligible to participate in the Transition to Practice Nurse Residency program. Nationwide Children’s wants to build upon the knowledge and experience gained in your academic career by supporting you in your transition from nursing student to professional nurse.
