RN Nurse Residency

Do you have a passion for healthcare and helping others? Do you enjoy working in a fast-paced, patient-centered environment? Jump-start your career with HCA Houston Healthcare’s StaRN – New Graduate Nurse Residency Program.

We invite new graduates to apply for a unique opportunity to receive didactic and clinical training in almost all areas of nursing. This program will allow new graduates to obtain experience through an intensive internship program and then transition to staff roles.

This program can be from 10-24 weeks, depending on department you are hired into.

The program consist of Didactic, on-line coursework & simulation lab. During the first part of the training time (first 5-11 weeks), the schedule will be Monday- Friday, with 40 hour work weeks at a centralized location. Most days will be in typical business hours (8 AM- 5 PM). The 2nd part is preceptorship at the hospital you were hired for; shifts will transition to 12 hours.

Program Starts: 2021 (Cohort start dates vary) 

Attendance is imperative and all days are required to remain in the program. No days can be missed. 

All who successfully complete the StaRN program will transition into full-time roles at hospital & department they are selected for during the initial interview process.

The StaRN program comes with a 2 year commitment with the facility and department that sponsored them into the program. If a candidate chooses to leave the facility before the 2 year commitment is fulfilled, they will be required to meet a pro-rated monetary responsibility.
